    My AW15 has a light leak between the display and the bazel.
    I detached the bazel and checked why there is a light leak. The light leak is only shown when you look down the gap tho.
    What I saw is that the logo light is now attached on the bazel. It was below the display on AW14.
    And Dell did not cover the light for some reason, and the tape used to stick the display and the bazel is very weak.
    So it is really easy to get a gap and a light leak.
    Yesterday, I lost one of the screws that hold the display. lol
    So I ordered and it will be delivered by tomorrow.
    When getting the screw, I'm gonna try to fix that gap and light leak by using stronger double-sided tape and electrical tape.
    Anyway, does anyone have this issue?
