Gray Circles In Corners

Can grey circles with very few vertical lines be fixed by cleaning or checking lcd cable attachment on sides of the lcd screen or are they permanent dead spots. They have grown consistently to cover one corner and now starting on the other over the last month.

A loose connection can cause the TV picture to have pixels or tiles. Remove and then reconnect the coaxial connections between your component and the TV equipment. Be sure all connections are secure. Inspect the coaxial cable for any damage, as damage will cause a loss in the signal strength. You can also unplug the TV for 10 minutes and see if that resets the issue. As a last resort, go into the menu of your TV and do a factory reset. Be sure your screen is not cracked. If the TV screen is cracked,follow the link.
