Out of the blue overnight my Samsung tv has developed a bright spot on the screen.

Apparently one of the led diffuser lenses has come loose, this is a fairly common problem with led TV's. I've found several videos of people doing the repair (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv5s0KttNX0). I don't know if any "professional" technicians do this type of work. It seems like the kind of job that has a high potential for failure for even a competent inexperienced person. Have any of you done this procedure?

Sorry, no help here. That's a stinky deal. I'd try the repair because it would drive me insane watching that. But ya, high risk of failure I suspect.

And while you are in there it may be a good idea to reglue them all if they are not too hard to get too after it is opened up.

How big a TV? I might try it on a 40" or smaller, but the logistics could get out of hand quickly on a really big one.

You might try gently massaging the screen area around the bright spot, with content on the screen showing clearly where it is.
