white bar on black screen : dead /hot pixels?

Hi dear community!

I have just noticed this strange whitish bar, only really visible in black setups like movies (at max backlit) on this mid 2010 macbook that I have just got. It is not bothersome at all as it is but I am wondering if it is a sign of something more serious that will expand over time. I do not mind if it stays as it is. I have done already a safe mode check (still visible).

Please let me know if you have an idea! I may need to give the MB back quickly if the problem needs a screen replacement.

Thanks!

Likely a pressure mark from pressing down on the keyboard.

Hi Dan! Thank you for your reply! I was thinking this actually... so that means it won’t get worse, right ?

Well... Yes, if you take the pile of books off of it ;-}

Dear @mayer @danj, thank you a lot for your comforting replies. The tech at official certified store said she 'cannot be sure of the outcome' but 'does not think it too serious'. Have a good day!

That has something to do with the lcd itself. To narrow your problem down has the macbook ever been dropped before?

Thank you for your reply ! I do not know. The original owner says no. If it is the lcd, Is the problem is going to get worse, like more bright pixels or even turning black?

Over time it will get worse. I would have it opened up by a pro and tell him to look at the lcd cable. Even if the cable is damaged i would just replace the whole display. Displays for mac are 200-300 but i would check ebay for your model number and then type screen replacement. Either that or send it to louis rossman's shop in NY. If i ever own a mac i would get it inspected by him. His pricings is fair.
