I had some custom made by a company in Taiwan, link below. After editing the video, I got to wondering how clean the alcohol was getting the contacts on the LCD glass so I took one to work to look at it under a microscope. It was not as clean as I thought. It looked rather smeared and there were marks where the original zebra strips were.
I 3D printed co ‘U’ shaped clamps to hold the LCD assembly together so I could experiment without having to twist the metal tabs each time. I’m going to try cleaning the contacts with acetone, which made a visible difference looking at it under the microscope and see if it improves either LCD glass. My guess is that the battery corrosion damages the contacts on the glass as well. It will be fun to see if it helps though. https://www.soigeneris.com/trs-80-model-100-lcd-zebra-strips Jeff From: M100 <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Charles Hudson Sent: Thursday, June 16, 2022 6:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [M100] LCD repair video and alternative use for unused screen RAM Jeff, Thanks for posting the repair video. I watched it in its entirety, hoping I never had to follow the procedures, which are way above my skill level. If I may ask: Where did you obtain the replacement "zebra strips"? -CH- <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> www.avg.com
