This is a little late, but here is the one year update on the 180 lcd that I baked. It is still working well, and I've had no issues with the lcd since the baking so far. During this time, the hard drive has failed (replaced with a BlueSCSI using a SD card extension to empty battery bay), and...

That is a really good question that I unfortunately don't have an answer to. I was thinking that the spots may have been produced due to local hot spots which resulted in the non-uniform appearance. I know when I did the dry run of the baking operation that I used a digital temperature readout...

The screen with the little bit of curved darkness on the upper right corner is a different laptop. It belongs to my friend, and he has been pestering me to do the same baking on it in order to fix it. However, as little tunnel vision as it shows, I'm reluctant to take a chance with it and have...

I wanted to give an update on the screen of the laptop that I baked above. Below is a picture of the laptop 6 months after the baking procedure described above after being on for three hours: So far so good, it is going on 7 months now and the screen still looks pretty good. From what I've...

I'm wondering if the ten day treatment with desiccates did something that made the baking more effective. Not sure how to check that, but it is possible that it did something that helped even if it wasn't obvious. Maybe I should have done the desiccate treatment for longer than ten days. BTW...

I have similar concerns about the LCD going back to tunnel vision at some point. That was one of the reasons why the ghosting concerns me even though it is very hard to see in person. I bought a bundle of four PowerBooks with the hope of being able to make one functional laptop from all the...

If you power cycle it, then it vanishes instantly. If you don't power cycle it then it takes about 6-10 minutes to disappear. It is a little difficult to get an exact time because it is so faint as it disappears. Also, if you move another window across the area containing the ghost image, it...

Sorry for the long post, but I needed to explain what I had done in order for my questions to make any sense. Note this this is just a record of what I did for the purpose of explaining my questions at the end of the post. I recently came into possession of a couple of Powerbooks and started...
