I've thrown a couple of inquiries out, but no responses yet so I'll add one here.

I recently obtained a Model 100 locally that had screen issues. I opened it up and of course it had leaking capacitors and memory battery. I bought a cap kit from Console5 and put it in, hoping it would resolve the problem, but of course it didn't. Also replaced the battery, and removed all the capacitor crud. Fortunately, I got it before it started damaging the board. Everything works properly now, except most of the top two lines all the way across the screen are missing pixels. Checking the output of the video driver chips with an oscilloscope didn't show any variance between chips, so I'm thinking that's not the problem. I read that the LCD panel will also work flipped upside down, so I gave that a try and sure enough, now the bottom lines were missing pixels and the top was fine. I even replaced the Zebra strips with no change. Looks like a bad LCD.

Would anyone have a working replacement they would be willing to sell? I'd prefer the entire LCD unit so I can just plug in the cables and go.
