Screen Rot

Spotted this at the local credit union branch:

Credit Union signature pad - LCD screen rot
Credit Union signature pad – LCD screen rot

There’s no obvious mechanical damage at the center of the orange blotch, so it must be something internal to the LCD panel going bad. The fading along the left edge might be part of the same QC glitch.

Confidence-inspiring, this is not, even though it has nothing to do with the credit union itself…

    “nothing to do with the credit union itself”, unless it is still there, say, a month after they know of its existence…

      He said it’s been on his desk for as long as he’s been there, so they’ve probably tagged it “Will not fix” until the entire screen rots away.

      Maybe there’s a Big Upgrade in the works?
