I had problems with both of the original Gameboys I had in the Navy.
Due to changes in where I was, they'd get set aside for a couple
years, and when I went to use them again, they'd have lines through
the screen. :-(

I have just pulled a heap of old Apple PowerBooks and
Newtons out of
storage, and have discovered that quite a few of the LCDs that were
perfect last time I looked at them (some probably not for seven
years ago now) have deteriorated to the point that they are no
longer usable. Problems vary from big black splotches on mono
screens, to colour screens with almost the entire display from the
centre out showing only the backlight.
What are the causes for these kind of problems? Heat? Humidity?
They have been stored for the last six or seven years in a cool dry
environment, but did spend one summer in a storage facility that
could have reached 40 deg c at times.
