Help Screen Burn In

I don't have a picture but we all know about screen burn in.

I'm wondering that and found that there's a little bit of burned in stuff on my screen. It says Alarm from my stock alarm clock and a bit of the the time 6 with a 7 overwriting it and illegible double digit numbers

Is there anything I can do about it? It's not too bad but it's noticable under certain screens where the color is all one color and you just see it pop out at your eyes

This worked for me - I had to do it several times because I never figured out whether to start with the phone "off" or "on".

Press # * and the "end call (red)" buttons simultaneously and hold for several sections. Then power phone off and back on. I read this was the equivalent of "safe mode" booting for a RAZR. My phone has performed flawlessly since I did this on the 6th of February!

I found that in another post just a opinion good luck.
 
I had a Samsung Glaxy phone and it totally burnt the screen! I could see numbers and some letters... when I took it Sprint, they said " ooh there's nothing we can do" you probably had it on "bright" to long! Like seriously!? I left Sprint, now with Verizon and have a Razr and hopefully this doesn't happen again!

LED's have a finite life, and the different colors wear at different rates. It's just a fact of life with LED screens.
