Backlight bleed and dark spots
Actually, there are two issues affecting the Surface Pro’s screen. The most frequent one is the backlight bleed issue, where the affected units will show a bright band along the bottom edge. There are also cases where the new Surface Pro devices have light bleed concentrated on the left hand edge. Some new Surface Pro devices are also exhibiting a dark band, or some dark spots concentrated above the bottom edge.
How to fix backlight bleed on the Surface Pro
The bad news is that there is no workaround available to fix the backlight bleed issue on the Surface Pro. However, if your backlight bleed is interfering with your ability to use the Surface Pro, you can ask Microsoft for a replacement. The only problem is that the replacement may not be free of screen issues, as users report. Actually, one user even confirmed that a Microsoft Store employee told him that the company couldn’t exchange the device since all Surface products have this issue. To put things into perspective, backlight bleed is not a major issue. What’s not acceptable is that users paid a lot of money for a premium product that shouldn’t have these problems.
