It turned out the issue was capacitor goo had wicked around these small flex assemblies on three sides of the panel. They bridge between the PCB and the LCD. There are sets at the top and bottom of the screen (columns?) on the side with the caps. I cleaned those two years ago.

What you see here is the reverse side, opposite the caps (rows?). I missed this two years ago. I cleaned those with about 50 swabs and IPA.
