That's a shame. I'm sure in my 15-20 years here on the Club100 listserv the
topic of screen repairs, backlighting, cleaning, etc. has been thoroughly
discussed several times.But with all the amazing innovation happening for our
treasured Model T format by extremely talented people, no options exist to rid
the scourge of bad screens once and for all?

The problem is annoying but it is something I can live with. I attached a
picture illustrating the problem.
On the picture, you can see that the top of the 6th line has a horizontal roll
of pixels out. It is most noticeable on the number, “5” where it took out the
top of this number.
The vertical column of dead pixels is on the column labeled, “Dist”. It
affects the first four lines of the display and you can see where the number,
“9” is affected.

Bum LCDs are often the most difficult thing to fix. If the problem is a
corroded connection to the LCD glass there is a 50/50 chance of fixing it and
getting the glass lined back up properly. I have also seen a missing horizontal
line be due to a bad LCD glass. The driver ICs can also fail and they have to
be scrounged from other LCDs are they are an odd/smaller package that seems to
be unique to the M100/T102.

I wish I had known about this group prior to forking over $200 to eBay for a
M100 in “mint” condition.
The seller’s definition of “mint” differed a bit from mine in that a horizontal
row of pixels is out and there is a column of pixels that is out for the top
1/3 of the column.
Do you fix these and if so, how much would it cost? The Y2K updated ROM
sounds useful as well.
