Hello Javier, Carlos et al,

Javier, Carlos thank you very much for your hints. I got a replacement TFT 
from Ebay for 99 EUR. I installed it yesterday according to the *truly 
excellent* IBM Hardware Maintenance manual and it works nicely. Was quite 
some work cause according to the manual one even has to remove the cpu 
fan and refit it afterwards with some cooling gel. I never done that 
before, but according to ACPI thermal_zone this worked nicely.

I even pulled the display out of its housing since the back side of that 
housing of the used display I bought (completely with housing) was 
scratched a bit more than the backside of the housing of my defect 
display.

I now have a TFT without those defects I reported. Well there is a very 
light darker area thats almost not visible. But probably this is just 
some dirt I did not yet manage to clean. Well I hope that this will not 
grow into a defect. Well thats the risk. Its a used TFT display I bought.

The original TFT that had this defects then was a SAMSUNG one, the new 
used one is an LG/PHILIPS one. It has a IBM P/N that is mentioned in the 
hardware maintenance manual and it has been in a T23 as well. 

Regards,
