The SMD capacitors in the LCD panel are definately bad and leaking but from what I can see, the LCD panel is probably beyond repair as the video circuit of the lower part of the LCD isn't working anymore. Probably the IC's in the LCD panel are faulty because the capacitors have failed.

I have recapped all my PB100 series LCD panels: it's not an easy job as one has to take the LCD panel apart while keeping it dust free and it are tiny SMD caps as well, so I'm afraid advanced soldering skills are needed with a very fine soldering pencil.

Go for a trash PB140, 145 or 160 and take the LCD panel from this one and recap it.
