The screen is NOT clean. You are seeing clean streaks on a very dirty glass.

The attached image shows the diagonal striations on the outward-facing glass of the lcd assembly. You can feel the malformation when running a finger across the glass but there is no physical issue on the back glass panel on which the replacement reflector/polarizer will be mounted. No heat was used to lift the transreflective polarizer. It actually peeled away beautifully (the old polarizer and reflector) with minimal glue left on the back glass.

Did you heat the screen while removing the transflective polarizer? FWIW, I did a polarizer replacement on an M200 screen in this video and it worked out great - https://youtu.be/eBRtDURtw00 //Ken _____ From: M100 <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > on behalf of Tom Blum <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2024 3:48 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: [M100] Restoring LCD screen Looking for some guidance regarding repair of Model 200 LCD..... Purchased a junk M200 for parts. About 3/4 of the LCD's reflective layer is burnt. Was able to peel off the reflective layer and back polarizer. What I notice now is that the LCD glass has a few, random diagonal waves in it, as if the LCD glass was heated, became fluid and then resolidified. I was thinking of purchasing and installing a new combo polarizer/reflective sheet but am wondering if the imperfections in the glass makes restoration of the LCD a lost cause. Anyone handle this before? Tom
