Sorry if it is a dumb question, but i'm new to this forum and to this type of issue.
After sitting two years in storage, yesterday I pulled out my iBook G3 snow white and sadly discovered the LCD screen now looks like that.
Screen is washed out in the central area and it is mostly noticeable with black images, as if the LCD is not blocking enough light.
It was working perfectly in 2020 when last used. Is that the dreaded Vinegar Syndrome ?
This iBook is not worth repairing, it has other issues (speakers are dead, CPU emits a high pitched noise depending on the load, screen latch retainer is broken, it suffered from the logic board failure due to cracked solder joints - fixed now with a shim under the back cover underneath the GPU), but i'm just curious as to what happened.
Thanks
Enrico
