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

Of all the damaged and degraded screens I have seen over the years I don't recall personally encountering that before.  The stuff on the right looks like a weird frog headed guy jumping over something.  Blame that guy.

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!

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

It's gone.
Rip screen.
