Thanks for sharing! I had a brand new one of these displays in 1999 when they first came out and it developed the same problem a year later. The replacement from MacMall’s warranty company (which was graphite instead of blue) also eventually developed the issue too. Good to know there’s a solution if I ever decide to fix it.

I think Apple should have recalled these.

The 21” version was supposed to be solid but I have never seen anyone with one or seen it for sale. The price tag was probably too steep compared to the faulty 17” one. Sad to hear that the graphite model was just as bad though.
