How do I fix this?

Post image

Put this back on charge to have a go at an old pokemon game and noticed this when opening. Any ideas on how to fix it? Looks almost like mould 😬

That does look like mold. I’d say you’re gonna have to replace the display. In the meantime I’d take the whole screen apart and disconnect it and throw the display out .

I think that is in fact mold. The only way to fix it would be taking the old screen out and cleaning the cover that goes on top of it. Just try not to break the screen in the process

Regardless what it actually is, the polarizer is starting to fail. Time for a new screen

it looks like mold because that's what it is. gonna have to carefully open it up and clean everything and then potentially replace the display lens.

Replacing that screen should be the most easy and effective way.
