My LCD is slowly failing in my M100 and it started out like Greg's T102 on the
left in his photo - a single blank vertical line halfway up the screen. Then
another. Then a horizontal row failed (third row from the bottom). Then the
fifth row from the bottom. New failures seem to happen within a few seconds
after powering the machine on. The most recent one I saw happen before my
eyes, about five seconds after powering on.
Now I'm missing probably half a dozen contiguous rows of pixels at the bottom
of the screen, spanning from the lower half of line 7 through the top half of
line 8. At first this was just annoying, but now it's difficult to read what's
on the last two lines of the screen. If I lose another row or two I won't be
able to tell what's there at all.
I've also seen machines on ebay with failed columns of pixels, so this can't be
*that* uncommon... I'm hoping that somebody on this mailing list knows what
causes this sort of thing, and whether there's a remedy. Is it bad connections
to the panel? Failing driver ICs for those regions? (I know the two vertical
columns which initially failed don't share a driver, but all of the rows that
have failed more recently do.)
