Sounds great Jamie.

Hey guys, Quick update. I have four displays on hand (thanks Josh!). Measurements suggest a zebra strip height between 3.3mm and 3.4 mm will work best. I’ve been in a protracted conversation with the supplier about best practices for assembly. I’ll have another set of prototypes made at the updated height, rebuild the four displays I have on hand, and let you all know how that goes.

I guess you are saying that for at least some LCDs with missing lines, a new zebra strip would help? For me it has usually been a pcb problem.

I’ve admired the M100 as a brilliant product for the past decade or so, and just picked up a really sad example that I’m trying to resuscitate. A couple of weeks ago I had a some fine-pitch prototype zebra strips made up to fit the M100 LCD (see pic). The first prototypes are about 0.3mm too tall. I’ll likely have another set of prototypes run with an adjusted height. I have two questions: Is there enough interest here on the list to justify an order of 1000 pieces or so? (Likely price is a few dollars each strip — more to come on price.) Do any of you have dead LCDs that you would be wiling to sacrifice to the testing gods? I would like to see ten or so LCDs improved by an upgrade to the new strips before placing a bigger order. —Jamie
