Dark shadow on the right
i’ve had this laptop for quite a couple years however a while back I noticed there was a dark shadow in the right corner of the screen. It first appeared when my sister was carrying the laptop around school. It didn’t bother me much as I could still see everything just fine however I now intend to fix/ find out what is causing the issue. Could anyone give any advice on how to fix it on a link to a YouTube video showing how to fix it?

The first thing to do is run a screen diagnostic -- hold the D key down through powerup. It will initiate a series of self-tests of the screen. If these show the same fault, the panel is damaged and will need to be replaced.
If not, the cause is external to the screen -- could be the display drivers, display cable, etc.

Power-on the system and start tapping the F2 key to enter System Setup.
Hold down the” Windows “key and tap the “R “key.
Then type msinfo32 and hit enter.
