How to fix the Razer Blade display showing lines and bright or dark spots

Below are the steps to resolve lines and bright or dark spots on the display of your Razer Blade laptop.

1. Ensure Windows is up to date. See How to get the latest software and driver updates from Windows.

   If you just updated Windows, please install the "Optional updates" under Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options.

2. Assess if the damage is caused by a software or hardware issue.

3. Conduct a pixel test and look for any bright or dark spots.

   Note: Any bright or dark spots that appear while testing indicates that the pixel is physically defective.

If pixel issues only appear when using certain applications, do the following:

1. Restart the device then check if the issue is still present.

2. Adjust your screen resolution to match the screen resolution of the game or application.

3. Ensure your graphics driver is up to date.

   Important: Install graphics driver updates that are made available only via Windows Update.

4. Reinstall the updated graphics driver then check the device again. This is to eliminate the possibility of a corrupt installation.

5. Perform a system recovery or factory reset.

If the pixel test failed or you are noticing screen issues listed below, a hardware issue is most likely the cause.

• Black splotches or blotches with bright white areas exposed
• Black splotches cutting through the screen
• Broken glass
• Diagonal or jagged lines
• Horizontal and vertical lines
