A couple of weeks ago, I was cleaning the black border of my screen with a microfibre cloth and came across a very small hard lump - a bit like a shard of a sweet. Wondered what it was and thought it might pick off with a little amount of pressure from my nail. I look after my gear so wasn’t rough with it at all.
Anyway after a bit of an attempt to shift it, I fail and get a green line down the screen and the lump stays where it is. Honestly, it’s minute. Maybe half a mil across.

Anyway, the screen has been getting worse as the MacBook boots but goes dark after a while, even though the keyboard is lit up and still responsive. This is getting more frequent. I can’t really see if being a GPU issue as it has never been dropped or damaged, so assuming it’s something to do with the screen and needs a new one?

Where would you send it or does anybody have any other suggestions of what to do with it. I’d upgrade, but I really like the wedge shape of the M1 airs and it’s been a cracking machine.
