OK, this is my second attempt to get this message through the mail list. I purchased a K2 kit (SN 7973) in November 2020 and just received it a week ago or so. I am trying to install the LCD and backlight and am having problems. The LCD sits too high and the pins sit just above the top solder pads. They don't go into the holes at all. Yes I can solder from the top but this will make a poor solder connection. Also the reflector is loose and moves around the backlight lens does not pinch it against the PC board. I am assembling with the Revised LCD and Backlight Assembly instructions Rev K2LCD-1, May 24 2018.
I would like to know if anyone else has had similar problems and what the solution is. My next step is to contact Elecraft support but would like to hear from the user community first. I have pictures but they did not go through with my first mail attempt. Thanks, Bruce, WB6IZG ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
