Before the new year )not exactl sure when, cudda been a year ago) I saw a
hairline fracture on my 2007 laptop. I assumed since it is still working so
much later, it is not mercury vapor. If it was mercury it would have all
leaked away, right? I looked at the specs and a few models were made with
mercury but most not. So today I played with the scratch with my
fingernail. It is under some plastic layer. And it began to streak from the
scratch upwards and downwards, and at the bottom of the screen it looked like
liquid leak collecting. Turned it off and it was still there when back
on. Ok, how much worse is it? How long will it survive? Is it toxic? OK, it's
LIQUID crystal. But nothing seems to have "gotten out". I have a few
discolored knicks on my Kindle but they dona't seem to effect operation (I
had dropped my keys on it).
