| PowerBook Duo 2300c issues |

I have a 2300c with a 270c/280c screen that flickers lines. I think it is the flat flex cable. When you squeeze the display, it will sometimes look more clear. |

I'd tear it down and reseat the cables, all the while inspecting for cap leakage especially the little ones surrounding the panel.
By the way that's a 270c with a PPC upgrade AKA the vaunted Duo 2300c/TB. Trackpads really sucked back then, still do as compared to even a cheap mouse when it comes to doing graphics. |

Probably needs recapping - that's necessary now on these. If the lines don't go away after a recap, then it's probably bad connections where the ribbons bond to the glass, or bad traces inside those ribbons from corrosion. |

I smelled the caps on the screen and they smell like dead fish. |
