Goto your nearest and friendliest sprint store, or whatever your carrier is, and let them fix or order you a new one. That's considering you have TEP.

yah, this is a known issue with the TP. Luckily hasn't happened to me yet, but sorry to hear you have the problem.

I have the same issue, I was told it is due from heat and that they see it more often on the instinct.. they wanted $50 dollars for a replacement at the time, but now my hard keys are on the fritz so i get a new one (refurb?)
at no cost..

Just noticed this one my screen the other day. Was wondering what the hell was going on. Thanks for the links.

BTW.... these Pros from Sprint have several different types of screen. I dont know why but they do. If you notice.. you will not find 2 identical Pros with the same backlight color. I have 2 pros.. one has a rigid feeling screen and the other has a kinda smushy feeling screen. the smuchy one has the oily defect. I will go to Sprint this week.
