Hello all, I hope that I am not breaking any rules with posting this responce here, but I am new to this scene (I registered yesterday), but I was reading through this thread after I got myself a Powerbook 170 with what appears to be really bad Tunnel vision, and I was thinking would why has no one just looked at getting a replacement panel and harvesting the glass layer, which from what I can seem to understand is the part that had the issues with the adhesive failing, and swapping it over to the Powerbook's screen. So I decided to do some digging, and I ended up getting so close to a result that seemed as though it would match, but alas they were either the wrong size, or the wrong resolution. Yet, I persisted and I continued and ended up coming across something that seems to be exactly what I was after.
So I come before you all now with this proposal, to go along side the baking at 100⁰C for 5 hours (or around about that). I would like to see if swapping the LCD glass layer would work with this or if it would work as a drop in replacement.
I am hoping that this is helpful to the community, I just want to make it clear that I do not have the financial means to try this out, but if someone else can either confirm or deny this theory, that would be great.
I also want to if it would not be possible separate the layers of the LCD panel glass, and replace the old faulty adhesive with new stuff that is more reliable, and also able to seal better? This is just a thought that I have had that is all.
I hope that some of what I have provided is somewhat helpful. Would love to have some feedback regarding this find, and also in regards to my other thought idea.
