First off, yes I know....worthless old set....so spare me any of the 'just throw it away' responses.
With that out of the way, I found this sitting on the curb a few years ago....see above before responding.
I finally got around to recapping it, which made it work again....just to reveal some strange spots in the lower left of the screen. These spots *appear* to be maybe some kind of contamination got between the LCD and the backlight diffuser? I've never seen anything like this. The affected area works; IE the pixels aren't dead and the picture/video shows through....
Some pics displaying it using a video generator in 1080P @ 60Hz. Changing the resolutions does not affect this....it doesn't appear to be an electronic issue, but rather a mechanical issue.
Here it is against a white raster:
Against a solid blue raster (red & green turned off), not noticeable unless you look at it from different angles.
Color bars, which appear correct. No breaks, dead places, or any other deviations/distortions in the color bar & transitions in the affected area.
Same result with a grid.
I guess my question would be, would disassembling the panel and cleaning between the layers fix this, or is the panel toast? Like I said, I've never seen this before.....but it looks like something got in there....how would be beyond me....but I wanted to see what some of you think before going through all the work of taking the panel apart...
