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?
