hp 48G/GX unavoidable DEATH !!

This thread reminds me of an earlier post by hp41cx

If you follow the link he provides in the first post you'll see an article on repairing a multimeter display that has developed a large dark spot in the middle. This may be a different failure mechanism than edge-bleed inward, but it might be worth trying.

If a 48 series display ever does go bad, it can be replaced by one from a more recent stretch pioneer model, giving you a few more years of happy computing!
