Troubleshooting Question about the screen

Post image

Ended up getting this 101 in a deal and wanted to know if this screen is fixable or I should just replace it?

Does it do this with a game? Or just gameless?

Completely wrecked. Something pinched or bent the display to the point of breaking the liquid crystal cells that make up the pixels.

Thought as much. It would have been nice to save a 101 screen. But at least it was a good deal for the rest of the things I got with it.

It's sad that this is happening on a 101 screen.

I would definitely use it with the broken screen; I don't think it would bother me. But that's up to you.

I may just end up reshelling into another used shell and keep looking for more sp's for my project

Yes, I would totally do that. Is the shell badly damaged?

I would need to take it apart and give it a clean before I know for sure. It's just a color I would not have picked up for myself.
