Generally it has worked for me but perhaps the corrosion on the screen is just be too much the PCBs in the M100/102s use the cheapest consumer materials and sometimes leaking batteries, residual flux or bad storage can lead to corrosion problems which stops the screen working (as well as the rest of the unit). I am always amazed they still work after 35years.
New elastomer would be an interesting option but reassembly of the screen is painful I have only attempted it twice with really bad results neither screen worked properly after reassembly.
