red spot on black background

Hello! I have seen this question several times and they always give the answer that you have to take it to technical support. It is about some red spots that appear on the black background. Would you like to know what is the reason?

Insofar as it possible to determine from your photo, you appear to illustrate a characteristic of LCD screen side-backlighting - where you may see slightly brighter patches at the extreme edges of the iPad screen.


This characteristic is usually only visible in a darkened room, with a black screen and high screen brightness. Unless the brightened patches are visible in normal lighting conditions, this characteristic is not necessarily an indication of a fault.


If you are concerned, you would be best advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the qualified technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad:
