Actually youre right i dont want. But if is there any quick solution i would give it shot. Im glad screen work perfectly except that light.

The light in the corner is caused by the compression of the LCD panels as the liquid crystal material is being squeezed.

Many a sin can be covered over using a good protective case. I really like these:

If you just can’t stand it, you can get one from PowerBook Medic for $650

I will be listing this part (a working pull) on eBay tomorrow for just under $500.

Pricey isn’t it!

The problem you face here is any reshaping of the lid frame puts the screen at risk of damage. The only solution is to replace the lid assembly which is quite expensive!

Sorry ;-{
