Light (white) spots on my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016) with TouchBar

This occured on my laptop's LCD in recent days. It's not a dead pixel and not a pressure mark either (I always carry my MBP in soft sleeve and never had an incident with it). It seems to be a factory's fault not the user's.

After some research, it seems that the problem is with the LCD glued badly. I think LCD detaches from the inside and causes more light to pass through, making that spot brighter. If you check closely the image on that spot is being displayed still, just brighter than the rest of the screen. Some people suggested to take a cloth and gently wipe that spot while pushing to fix the problem. I tried it on mine and nothing worked. My warranty is unfortunately expired and I do not have Apple Care either.

I can not discern anything from the screenshot however—

redesign of the LCD uses a permanently tethered cable and LCD screen design. The issue is believed to possibly affect 2016-2018 MacBook Pros, including 13-inch and 15-inch Touch Bar models, as well as 13-inch non-Touch Bar models.

At this time there is no call back or extended program. You can research future: stage light effect

In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' / Assessment
