How do I fix dark and light spots on iPad Pro 5th gen screen?

I have a 5th generation Ipad Pro that has a dark spot annd a light spot next to each other on the middle right side of the screen near the edge.


I've done the normal self-help (turned off, updated software etc) but the problem still persists

Make an appointment at the nearest Apple location to have your iPad evaluated for free.

Once the diagnostics are complete, the staff will explain your options.

Stuck or dead display pixels are unusual - but not unknown. There is an industry-wide scoring formula that is used to determine whether or not one or more pixels are considered to be a warranty defect.


You can contact the Support Team using the Get Support link at top-right of this page. You can also initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to assess your iPad:
