Macintosh Portable M5120 partial line on screen

gurrag

6502
Hello, i have this portable that i have been repairing/servicing over the past few months.

(Have done a full recap of the board and rebuilt the battery)

When i was about to consider the repair done this line appeared on the screen after a few hours of running Prince of Persia.

From what i can gather from older threads this is an actual problem with the LCD itself and not anything on the system board ?

Would this be possible to fix by disassembling the screen (removing the glass etc) and cleaning the rubber/carbon contacts that i have read about in the same old threads ?

Or is there something else i can do to repair it other then replacing the whole LCD ?

I noticed a few electrolytic capacitors on the backside of the LCD panel - but since the screen seems to be working fine other than this partial line i guess those are not in need of replacing ?

Overall the computer has been working fine since the recap, only the occasional hiccup which seemed to go away after charging the battery up to a higher voltage.

Regards.
