Many areas of the display weren't working at all and others were dim. Totally unusable in that condition. Here's how to fix it..
Remove the case top, remove the light gray LCD cover by prying along top and bottom, remove the glass which has the spongy terminal connector strips along the top and bottom, jam a Q Tip in the slot where the strips were, clean the board where the strips touch, clean the bottom of the spongy terminal connector strips, reassemble, and voila. It works! If anyone wants me to fix theirs, let me know!
