It's the adhesive that holds the front polariser in place, I think it's been exposed to heat/sunlight for a good time.

The machine is still unstable, I've tried everything I can think of. I'm taking a break before I snap the motherboard in half! ๐
Revisit it again soon.

Amstrad PPC512 - NEC V30 (8088) Powered Portable from 1987.
(Bit of a screen issue, which I'll either try to repair, mod or replace/upgrade).
Pretty cool to have another machine to play with, my PPC640 is pristine, has the backpack, original disks so great to keep as it is.

So, a bit of a back step, which is fine, Quake II crashed when running on its own for a few hours. I know Irongate is very picky with RAM, so I've found some PC-100 and I'm giving that a whirl....
