Seeking Solutions: Repairing My AIO Monitor After a Feline Incident

As a dedicated cat parent, I’ve come to accept the occasional chaos my furry companion brings into my life. However, my beloved feline has recently taken his mischief to a new level by biting my All-in-One (AIO) monitor. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time he’s caused trouble, and the damage has reached a point where it’s becoming increasingly disruptive to my daily activities.

The latest incident has left me with more than just a few cosmetic blemishes. A once minor annoyance has transformed into a significant problem, with damaged pixels now affecting a larger portion of the display. The screen features glaring white spots in the corner and bizarre horizontal lines stretching across the top, emanating from the initial impact site. To make matters worse, nearby pixels intermittently glitch, flickering darker in a dance of frustration. While the monitor remains operational, the visual disturbances are hard to ignore and have become quite distracting.

I’ve attached an image of the damage for reference—of course, I couldn’t resist including an obligatory photo of my charming little troublemaker alongside it. In an effort to mitigate the issues, I’m currently running a dead/stuck pixel program, which explains the vibrant red and multi-colored background currently on display.

For context, my computer is a trusty Lenovo IdeaCentre Y910-27ish AIO, which has served me well for years. While the system itself continues to perform admirably, it’s clear that the monitor needs some TLC.

I’m reaching out for any advice or tips from those who might have faced similar situations. Is it possible to repair the screen, or am I looking at a replacement? Your insights would be greatly appreciated as I navigate this little crisis with my tech and my spirited kitty. Thank you!
