In my experience, passive matrix screens can have leaked caps, causing screen issues such as a faint display/occasional "yellow-out" issues. I had it happen to a PowerBook 140 and …

I had the tunnel vision/darkening corners fault on a Duo 280 greyscale. i think that's a fault in the LCD itself rather than the backlight, but I am open to better information.

The only issue I have run into is on an old Powerbook 170. It suffered from black corners of the LCD when on for a long period of time. All my other powerbooks work fine. Mind y…
