Sometimes, certain pixels get stuck and can look like green, red, or black dots on the screen. One option to fix this is to take a soft cloth and gently rub around the stuck pixel in a circular motion, which lightens up the dead pixel. If this does not work, you may need to replace the Display Assembly.
If your camera is not working, you could either have an outdated camera driver, or the camera itself is faulty. Since you cannot only replace the camera, replacing the display assembly not only replaces the monitor, but the camera as well.
Before starting this guide, please be sure to review the Troubleshooting page for extra information on the LCD monitor and camera.
Be sure to check and see if your device is under warranty before you being disassembly. Please note this is for the HP Spectre x360 15-bl012dx.
