What is causing this on my screen?

I have an MSI Stealth Laptop with the 240Hz screen and just recently these dark areas showed up on the bottom my my screen. Looks like some of the LED back/edge lighting has stopped working. Anyone else have this issue or know for sure what it is?

It looks like the backlight in your screen is failing. An LCD replacement should fix it.

Easiest fix: Replace the whole LCD panel for it.

If you want to try and fit a new backlight to the panel, You could try before you buy a new one.


But if you want neither, It won't hurt anything, Looks like only one row failed.

It won't break the whole laptop.
