Is it a good sign when the laptop screen looks like this?

No, not really. I’ve never seen a screen delaminate in that way before — this is a 2012 era Sony Vaio 2-in-1 “slider” laptop that I found in the attic today. (The screen is supposed to be all-white, in case you wondered.) It’s just kinda… so… organic. OK, going into the recycling once I’ve erased the disk.
