Last month, a few Wallstreets came my way, one of which was dead, with a display that sometimes worked, sometimes flickered weird pixels all over the place, and had a completely nonfunctional backlight.

After a bit of a pull-apart, which is the thing to do in such situations :) , I find the inverter board has arced through the plastic surrounding it, leaving rather a mess...

After a bit of a clean, it's a bit nicer...

Now, digging around a bit further, I find a liquid spill inside the display! ungh... not sure what it was, but it was a little oily, a little everywhere, and I suspect had kept the plastic around the inverter damp enough to conduct electricity. After that was cleaned up, I now have this:

Another happy, working Wallstreet - even if it doesn't have a HD yet *grin*
