Looks to me like a mud stain. :(

Try running the diagnostic.
1. Press the power+record button together
2. While holding the two, press the reset hole
3. While still holding the the two, release the reset hole
4. Wait for the diagnostic screen to pop up
5. Release the power+record button
6. Follow directions as prompted.

thanks. i know that diagnostic procedure. i even know the name for it. it did not help though.

today i opened it up, to see the lcd part number. when i assembled it back, i found out that grey spot changed its form (see the pictures).

any ideas? what is it?

Try rubbing it off with your fingers. It might be a broken screen.

Did you get it wet?

I can't see the images very well, but it looks like water between the touch screen and the digitizer.
Water tends to magnify the pixels.

exactly it looks like some kind of liquid. besides there is that long scratch.

how can i take the touch screen off the lcd?

I found this link to show you how to replace the screen. From what I have read you have cracked the lcd itself and if you can't feel the crack with your finger on the screen probably not the digitizer. Not sure how much all this costs to fix but I am sure if you do some searches you will find that answer also. good luck!
