That could be some type of particle that is in the diffusion sheets on the screen it self making it focused. You can either just flat out replace the LCD and I would suggest using a guide from ifixit or you can take apart the LCD and look for the affected area and try to clean it. If you don’t have a clean or low dust area I would not suggest taking the screen apart. I am also not 100% sure about the LCD for that specific iPad but it could also be clamped closed and would be hard to re-seat if moved. Or if you have a warranty and Apple won’t give you issues about it I would use your warranty since it would be a defect.

Nice guide! So far I have used this guide twice and repairs were flawless. Unfortunately I was unable to take the screen off in one piece but ones the main part of the glass was off I worked on getting the LCD out as carefully as possible just so I could take time to remove all of the shards and the adhesive that kept those shards to the frame. One off I had to spend some time removing the old adhesive and clean out that part of the frame from any grime. Other then that it worked and they are now very happy with there new screen.

Thank you!

yes, you would need an adapter to connect the msata to regular sata and connect to another computer.
