White crystals on LED of my MacBook 2008 late edition

I have 2008 MacBook late edition . I used to do photoshop editing on it. Now..I see that due to moisture, the LED screen has gone nuts. There are many crystals on the screen and the patch size is increasing day by day. I had plans to install ubuntu on it as the laptop condition is still great.

How can I fix the LED crystal issue. Does anyone even has the LED screen for this matchbook 2008

please help. KT electronics was suggested by someone.

MacBook, OS X 10.11

Good day,

If you wish us to suggest vendors that may have a replacement display, please give us a rough idea of where you are in the world. These are international user-to-user forums and we have no way to see where you are.

It does you little good if we find a seller who is an airplane ride away, or does not ship to your country or region.

It may be easy to buy another Macbook of the same model and scavenge its display. Sometime entire computers are far cheaper than individual parts.

Cheers!
