The black spots are due to "Dead Pixels" and yes that means that you need a replacement screen. Unfortunately, I hardly doubt that there are manysources to replace the screen in Malaysia. It is rare even in the US. It is best if you all together buy a newer device.
Feel free to resubmit the question if you didn't find it useful.
