Hello guys, I just encountered something weird on my laptop. FUNGUS!!!!! It must be them as you can see in the picture. Yesterday it was only just a very tiny dot on the screen. After one day, it got this big.
Is there anyway that I can clean it myself? Appreciate if anyone can help me :) Update 1 (1/12): I haven’t fixed until now, I am in the middle of the exam so don’t have time to fix :( I think I will do it within 2 days. @mayer yeah, it’s not a retina display, quite old already, mid 2010, and yep, I’m in southeast asia, currently in Singapore. @gigabit87898 yeah may be? cause I am seeing some other “stripe” on the screen now. But I don’t know how the water can get inside the display. I never bring the laptop outside nor spill any kind of liquid on it. haizz @oldturkey03 the growth is very very bad :( btw what is the diffuser sheet? Is it the glass? BTW, is it ok to use bleach to kill this thing as @joshw suggested. after using the bleach, should I leave the panel for some times before reassembling it back? Here’s the picture of the most up-to-date condition :(
Update 2 (4/12): I tried to dissemble the glass but I failed. It was too brittle that it started to shatter as soon as I pulled the glass up. I am ordering a new front glass now and it will be arriving in 1-2 weeks time. I will update you guys as soon as I receive it. Update 3 (28/12): My friends and I managed to disassemble the glass and we all hoped that it was on the glass but no :( it’s still there, inside the LCD screen I guess? We did use IPA to clean the screen but no effect. I think I will have to order another LCD screen for replacement. This is how it looks like now, really bad right? I guess the mold has won this fight lolol
For this one, I didn’t notice it at first. Now, I’m wondering if it is the mold or the screen malfunction itself.
This growth is similar to the dreaded “Cheetos Finger Fungus”. Here’s how to clean the screen of your infected machine before the CDC comes in with bio-hazard suits and nabs it. https://www.cdc.gov http://www.wikihow.com/Clean-a-Macbook-P… Be sure to jump on this quickly before it spreads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTmOQmQr… UPDATE If the fungus is one the inside, you will have to pull the glass.
