    I have a neogeo pocket here that i practicly got for free, the only problem is the screen isnt 100%, when the neogeo logo appears on the dark background i can see horizaontal lines and the dark color tends to blurr.

    When playing games however it is even worse, the image is prety blurred and i can see a lot of horizontal lines especialy with pac-man.

    I already openend it up but didn't see any damage.
    Is there anything i can do to adjust the screen or is a simple case of a semi-dying screen.

    Sounds like a dead LCD to me. A friend's NGPC did a similar thing, he never got it to work. Check that the cable connections are all secure, it could also be a dodgy connection.

    Replacement cover lenses are available, but LCD screens aren't, that I could find.

    Open up the battery cover and look at the bottom part of it, there should be a hole, inside that hole is a little thing to ajust the LCD with a tiny screw driver., darker/brighter...try that out.
