Uneven lighting
Has anyone else had this issue where the light on the edge is wonky and there are parts where its blue and parts where its yellow? It's only noticable when the comfortLight is on

I tried turning my kobo off and on, and then turning the brightness to 0% and the comfortLight to 0%, then turning both settings to max, but it didn't do anything...

My screen wasn't like this before, and it's clear the circled area is much darker than the surroundings

I wonder if that is where your thumb tends to sit while reading?
Maybe the edge of the screen is taking some of the weight when reading one handed.

Look at it from the side - is there an LED out?

Maybe, but normally I use the page turner remotes or tap/swipe over buttons. I used buttons for my KL2 and never had this issue

I can see the blue and yellow lights alternating, and one of the yellow lights is slightly less brighter than the other ones.. Is there a way to fix an LED?

Although irregularities in the front light coverage happen from time to time, ranging from aesthetically displeasing to dysfunctional, I would contact Kobo and request a replacement unit if I were you. That’s pretty bad.
