Yeah, I guess since they are now 20 years older than when I did this it might be more problematic now.

Screens dying really sucks. I have many with various screen issues already, and last night while playing Tetris a horizontal line popped out in the middle on my main DMG. I will poke around in some of them next weekend to see if i can fix anything, and if this screen is gone I may swap front boards with one I use mainly with a keyboard for lsdj. I think good quality replacements are coming soonish...
Why do you think it might be weather related? What has the weather been like where you are? When I was younger I left mine in the car occasionally, sometimes in below freezing and very hot temperatures, but the screen always returned to normal after a while.

It was 22 degrees here, and I left my dmg in the car, as I went to an xmas party, then when I came back, turned her on, I was like GAAAAHG

Get one (I think he's got 2 more) and replace the front PCB. I noticed that sweet design around the screen cover. You have to keep this alive!

sigh, could this have happened from the weather Tim Bob? Thanks though, sigh, I guess I'll use her for a few more songs, then I'll salvage what I can off of her

I'm afraid the crystals cracked.
No way to fix it, the leak will spread further..

It's gone.
