The quest to get ANOTHER fully working PowerBook 180

Wow, very good! I absolutely would NOT bake that screen under unless the tunnel vision gets worse in the future. Congrats on getting a good screen!
 
i would leave it. an hour is plenty of usage time.
I mean, to be fair I have used my 180 for as much as 4 or 5 hours at a time. But if the machine isn’t experiencing much tunneling after an hour then it probably won’t get much worse in the coming hours either.

Thanks. I guess the 180 is a true lottery since most sellers are not willing to let it sit for an hour or two to let you know if it's tunneling. I'll definitely watch for it worsening.

This looks to be true. I let it run for almost 3 hours, and it never got any worse than what you saw in the picture.
