[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1813374, member: 83420"] Hi and thank you for posting. In the broadest sense, it represents water ingression. It could be as a result of the conditions pertaining to where you stored the Mac; or a water spill. Wiser counsel than I may have better ideas, but I don't see any alternative to removing the screen and either clean/replace or brand new/replace. I would also want to make sure that the water has not leaked further into the Mac. Given the age of the Mac - "pre-2011" - any repairs would have to be done by you or an Apple authorised dealer. Or, at worst, someone who claims to be able to repair Macs. Apple won't touch it as it's at least 8 years+ old. So, for you, the question is whether the expense is worth it or whether you might be better buying a newer (or new) Mac if that is feasible. Ian [/QUOTE]
