got a picture of the damage? it sounds like the backplane is broken, as i have had the same problem with my '505 after a battery change due to the inadequate protection behind the screen.

in my case it also flashed but it was obvious what had happened as there was a diagonal line on the screen (tilting at an angle revealed this)

interestingly the presence of a dot suggests damage already existing. I wonder if in this case they used the wrong length screw at the factory and it pressed on the backplane?

just a thought.
fwiw if you have a '505 with bad battery just send it back for repair, its not worth the risk of breaking the screen repairing it yourself.
