I've had a Model 102 for years that I enjoy tinkering with and I've often thought I should pick up a Model 100 as well but never had a real need. Now with new forthcoming REXCPM on the horizon I figured I might start watching eBay looking for a deal. I ended up picking up a nice clean (on the outside anyway) m100 that has some screen issues. There isna large horizontal band of missing pixels all the way across the screen as well as some vertical lines missing for about half the screen.

I've seen the repair video linked below fixing similar issues. Squeezing the bezel fixes part of the widest section of missing vertical lines near the middle of the screen but leaves every other line missing still. No amount of pressure anywhere around the bezel seemed to affect the missing horizontal lines, nor the alternating section of missing lines. My question is, is there anything else I should check before removing the LCD bezel and examining the elastomer strips? The NiCad has just begun leaking but has not reached the board. All but one of the smaller black electrolytic caps have leaked quite a bit though. Is there any way that damaged traces on the main PCB would produce the issues on the LCD?
