ubersaurus Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Like Bassguitari, I don't have a Microvision yet but having a replacement screen would certainly spur me to get one. Put me down for one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Ragan Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Are these new LCD screens less prone to screen rot? Is visibility improved at all? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoshiChiri Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Despite not being sure I'll be able to install the screen, I'm willing to commit to 1. Hope it'll work out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBreakout Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I'm in for one! Was looking for something like this years ago... Glad to see this post! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPix Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Count me in for 4. I might need one one day, and a spare, and the retrogaming club I4m part of could use 2 screens for their Microvisions 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Are these new LCD screens less prone to screen rot? Is visibility improved at all? The new LCD screens should not be prone to screen rot. I think the Microvision screens were just made cheaply, enabling the liquid inside to leak or dry out. Visibility should be the same or slightly better than a pristine Microvision. I'll know more when I have the prototypes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bratwurst Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I'm sure liquid crystal manufacturing has matured since the Microvisions were cranked out, even if a low-budget China outfit was producing them they're still benefiting from decades of know-how. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Nut Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Can you post a YouTube video showing how to replace the screen? If it is easy enough, I'll take a couple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A video is not too likely, but I'm planning on taking some pictures sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigO Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Can you post a YouTube video showing how to replace the screen? If it is easy enough, I'll take a couple. Other than dealing with the twitichiness of those zebra connectors in general, it's really not a complex job to remove and replace the LCD in a Microvision. I've swapped them around to put a known good one into an unknown unit to troubleshoot the unknown unit. I remember it being a lot more difficult to properly orient the cartridge connector piece during reassembly than anything else. On the subject of the zebra connectors: because it's what I had on hand, I've used Deoxit and a chamois swab to successfully clean the metal and rubber contacts when parts of the LCD matrix weren't working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thegoldenband Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Definitely in for one, maybe 2. (EDIT: Let's make it two!) My main MicroVision's screen is faded though still visible; need to check the other one I picked up, though I seem to recall it's OKish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
