    I think you have some high heat damage there. ;)

    Hard to tell from the photo. But it might be a lamination.

    Need better pictures, but at first glance it looks like a dropped thin cap.

    I also suspect that it is a late state capped die strike; an error and not damage.

    Better photos are needed. ;)
    Rather than taking a photo of your screen can you post the photos directly from your computer?
