I found this link, I think it is the same problem as mine, screen separation in one of the layers of the Newton Screen.

Seen something like this...
I recently acquired a 2100 never really used. I have noticed that while
everything works, it looks like there is some oil or something in a few spots
underneath the screen. I can see one oil like splotch toward the lower part of
the screen, and another toward the top left. They are each about 1 inch in
diameter. When I push the stylus on one of them and apply some light pressure,
for instance, the splotch expands and radiates outward, enlarging it. It sort
of looks like a diagram of a wireless single array. I can also put the stylus
on the center of one of them and drag, and it sort of follows the stylus, then,
in an elastic way, snaps back to its original oil like round splotch shape.

With the backlight on, they can also be seen. There are no jaggies that I am
aware of, everything works fine on the screen, just these anomalies. Any ideas
what this is and what I can do?

Thank you so much in advance.

Ryan
