@hvangalen@mastodon.nlSo, I was bored and figured I'd replace the backlight sheet for an LCD screen in an old 90s sampler. (I'd ordered the replacement in 2023.)
Boy, that was annoying!
I had to completely detach the metal bracket that snuggly presses the LCD screen and 2 zebra strips to the PCB; so I can desolder the old and put the new one in.
With all PCBs bare, I had to turn on the machine, and adjust and move the LCD until the 4 rows of text actually made sense.
I initially bought 4 x 20 character LCDs from AliExpress, which worked fine for another old piece of hardware, but not for this model: the LCD panel itself is about 2 to 3 mm thicker, and it just doesn't fit inside the front panel, so bummer. I could kinda squeeze it in, but that pushed the plastic cover outwards and it looked horrible.
@hvangalen leuk kleurtje
niet zo saai geel of groen wat je toen veel zag
@knuppelbeer Ja de groene die ik aanvankelijk wilde was niet meer op voorraad, dus dan maar blauw gedaan.
Wel balen van de vervaagde tekens, in principe kan ik het glaasje van een ander paneel afhalen maar geen zin in. Doe ik wel als het echt niet meer leesbaar begint te worden.
