I would like to request a diagnostic and repair for my Leica M11-P safari due to a recurring display issue.

Issue description:

• The LCD screen becomes dark in the center and brighter toward the edges.
• This happens both in Live View and Playback mode.
• The captured images (DNG/JPG) are completely normal – only the display is affected.
• The issue usually appears after the camera has been used for a short period, even outdoors.
• If I turn the camera off and let it cool for a moment, the display returns to normal, but the problem comes back again after continued use.
• The dark area does not change with viewing angle, suggesting a hardware-related issue (LCD panel or display driver).

What I have checked:

• Battery level is normal.
• Firmware is up to date.
• No impact from settings or exposure modes.
• Issue appears even when simply playing back images.

Based on the symptoms, this seems to be a hardware fault in the LCD module or display driver board.

Please advise on the next steps for inspection and repair.
