Bright Spot On Inside of Screen

iMac 14,4 : 21.5 inch : mid-2014

Over the weekend I upgraded the HDD in my iMac to an SSD.

This requires removing the screen, which is glued onto the enclosure.

As part of the re-assembly process, I cleaned the old adhesive with 91% isopropyl alcohol, applied new adhesive strips (LeFix, not iFixIt, please forgive me), and put everything back together.

For 3 days, everything was fine.

This morning, there was an irregular spot on the inside of the upper-right corner of the screen. The spot is about 2 1/2 inches / 6 cm long x 2 inches / 5 cm high.

Although it is a bright gray, it is not visible against the dark background of my desktop picture. I only noticed it when I had a white browser window in the corner - because it's impossible to not notice. It's brighter than the picture below makes it appear to be.

The spot had not been there 1/2 hour earlier. I know this because every morning, I log into my parents' security camera system to take a screen shot and record the battery levels of the cameras; because Arlo does not provide any logging functionality. I always have the browser window in the upper-right corner of the screen, to include the clock display in the screen shot.

Does anybody have any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks.

Ouch! Looks like your cleaner creeped through the foam sealer between the cover glass and the LCD panel. Not much you can do here sorry ;-{

Maybe a bit of time will dry it out, hopefully not leaving a film deposit of the adhesive you where cleaning off (or is this the residue?) If it bothers you you’ll need to replace the screen.
