Fungus inside lcd monitor

I have fungus grown inside my lcd of fujitsu s4562 laptop when it's 7yrs old,
Fungus inside my lcd monitor they are spread fast. I start notice it grow from the middle of my screen

It look like dirt of old scratch at first, but it spread out more and more everyday

Until it look like cloud. It will look light grey color when monitor turn off and will look dark color when turn on and see it in white background.


When the cloud is so heavy I am afraid of it then I stop using this laptop. I keep it in paper pack and wrap it with plastic. Decide not to use it anymore. But after a month pass I thought about the other usable part of my dear laptop. How can i forget to bring HDD out?


Step of unwrap is quite gluey, i thought fungus love wrapping atmosphere much more they develop some gluey water with a sour smell. Very bad smell, now i can see fungus creeping to grow outside around joint of monitor border case. The LCD have a kind of white round fungus grow up by something inside LCD. I screw out monitor case and see a lot of fungus growing around empty space, but in the body part (CD-combo, HDD, CPU, battery, ram, motherboard, soundcard)not seeing any fungus here. I clean body part with alcohol and still keep it on shelve. I don't have any picture because at that time I'm in panic of disgusting fungus which had kill my laptop monitor will kill other computers in my house.



This is my recommend if you have problem of fungus inside lcd.
try to replace it very soon because fungus will continuosly increase and may grow on and damage other parts of your computer or may spreading to another machine nearby.

This is my atmosphere of using this laptop

- Monitor's case is aluminium

- Sometime carry around in backpack

- using indoor open air temperature 32-35 °C humidity around 70%

- using indoor with air-conditioner 24-27 °C

I wipe my laptop with dry cloth almost everytime of using. I thought something contain in lcd has an attraction for this kind of fungus not because of dirty hand from routine computer using. I see no fungus appear in other part except around LCD screen.
