lucio fontana effect? looks like vinegar syndrome and deteriorating zebra strips on the display connectors.

technically it's possible to get a replacement... just pull one out of another portable!

Lucio Fontana was an artist who played a lot with line and shape like that. I rather liked that description...

Ahh. Thank you for the annotation. I assumed it was someone in the 68K community that first posted about the issue.

First time I’ve seen a Portable with vinegar syndrome. You don’t see that too often. Not sure what type of film one of those screens uses.
