I've had this TS-15 laptop since about 2018 & a few months back somehow humidity got under (between what I assume is double layered) the display plastic.

Not sure if it's related to the bandaid over the camera & what looks to be two mic ports, however it occured shortly after.

 

Is there any guide on accessing the outer clear plastic of the touchscreen so I can clean it?

It looks like I might need a guitar pick to separate the halves of the upper & then unscrew the display itself to do so, but I'm hoping there's a less intrusive option.

 

There's a rubber "boot" (also pictured below) surrounding the screen, wonder if that might be the retaining element.

 

The white mark pictured is there whether it's on or off, it just appeared & slowly grew from about the size of a dime to 3" across. 

 

No clue how the moisture got in but it's driving me nuts! Doesn't affect the touchscreen or graphics underneath, just looks gross.
