If you’ve noticed a blue spot or blotch on your iPhone screen, you’re not alone. This common issue often stems from pressure, accidental drops, or screen malfunctions. While a blue spot can be frustrating, it doesn’t necessarily mean you need a whole new phone. Here are some proven solutions for tackling iPhone screen blue spots, from simple fixes to professional iPhone repair in Brisbane.
Identify the Cause of the Blue Spot
Before diving into solutions, it’s essential to identify what might be causing the blue spot on your screen. There are several possible reasons for this issue:
- Physical damage: Drops, bumps, or pressure on the screen can damage internal components, leading to blue spots.
- LCD or OLED malfunctions: If the LCD or OLED layer of the screen is damaged, it can cause spots or discolourations.
- Overheating: Prolonged exposure to high temperatures may cause screen damage and blue spots.
Once you’ve identified the potential cause, you can better determine the best solution to address it. Thus, bring your phone to iRepair Experts.
Restart Your iPhone
Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve minor screen issues. This solution is particularly helpful if the blue spot appears suddenly and isn’t associated with physical damage. Restarting refreshes the iPhone’s internal system and can clear temporary glitches.
To restart an iPhone, follow these two methods:
- For iPhone X and newer, press and hold the side and volume buttons until the “slide to power off” option appears. Swipe to turn it off, wait a few seconds, and then hold the side button to turn it back on.
- For iPhone SE or earlier, press and hold the top or side button until the “slide to power off” appears.
Adjust Display Settings
Another solution involves adjusting the display settings. Sometimes, tweaking brightness, colour balance, or night shift settings can help reduce the appearance of blue spots or make them less noticeable. To adjust your display settings, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings > Display & Brightness.
- Try lowering or increasing the brightness to see if it impacts the blue spot.
- You may also enable True Tone or adjust Colour Filters under Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size.
While this won’t resolve physical screen damage, it can sometimes minimise visual impact.
Try a Soft Reset
A soft reset is more thorough than a standard restart and can help with persistent screen issues. This process won’t erase your data and may reset any minor system glitches causing screen malfunctions.
To perform a soft reset on most iPhone models:
- Quickly press and release the volume up button.
- Quickly press and release the volume down button.
- Press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears.
Seek Professional Repair
If the blue spot remains after trying these methods, it may be a physical issue requiring professional surface screen repair in Brisbane. The repair process typically involves a screen replacement, as blue spots often stem from damaged internal layers.
