This is new to me.
Victim is a dime-a-dozen 15" Dell E152FPb CCFL-backlit from the early 2000s. It was stored in a humid shed for the better part of four years, and had been stored without use in a climate-controlled environment for six years prior to that (was originally university property, then given away). Got it out recently since I moved to play around with it; after cleaning off the accumulated grime, found the frame, screen, and internals to be in excellent condition and rust- / corrosion-free. When I tested it years ago, the screen was functioning fine, and getting it out recently it seemed like it would still be okay after cleaning it up. But when I did, I found a bunch of blurry black spots on the screen. I immediately recognized it as mold, so I figured I hadn't scrubbed the screen well enough. Tackled that again, and found the spots still remained.
Is there a sublayer of the screen that could accumulate mold? And if so, is there any way I could access it to clean it out? Searching the web turned up very few results, and none here, so I'm flying blind here.
