Hi, first i apologize for the bad english in this post, i'm from a non-english speaking country. For a while my gameboy had a shiny blob in the lcd, so i tried to remove it by gently wiping it with a paper towel with some alcool, but it didn't do anything. Is there anything i can do?
Also i might add that the blob is a bit rougher to the touch than the rest of the screen.

#

Also i'm not referring to the darker cirle: i know it is a cause of direct sunlight. The thing i'm interested in is that glue-like sploch on the screen

It’s the adhesive “burning” that is causing both the dark circle and the blob. The polarizer needs replacing and that’s a long arduous process

I know it is more of a personal opinion, but do you think it is worth it for the work i have to do?

#

Because i heard it is very difficult to do and i don't want to accidentally break the LCD definitively

Honestly no. There isn’t a good 1:1 replacement polarizer afaik. If it was me I’d shoot for upgrading to a backlit lcd and maybe se if anyone is looking for trashed OEM screens.
