Well that usually means that there is contamination at the connection point or the sandwich is not clamped tightly enough.  I have cleaned them off with alcohol and a lint free cloth.  If I remember correctly there is not space for you to get them out of alignment. Paul. On 2017-12-06 10:42

Well, I replaced the LCD and was greeted with missing segments. Any suggestions before I throw in the towel? That glue from hell necessitated picking off the black plastic shielding bit by bit with forceps ans a magnifying glass. Really awful stuff. --Chuck

Ok I am guessing you have figured out how to take the back off? (screws under the rubber feet) with the calculator upside down and the display away from you there is a connector at the top right that connects the keyboard to the electronics on the back of the display carefully  lift that

I just looked back at the archives of the hpmuseum.org site and the donor 12C that the display came from for the 16C I repaired for another MoHPC member had a serial number that began with 2224A and was the version with the innards wrapped in black plastic like your 16C. Paul. On 2017-12-06

Re: OT: Argh--my old faithful HP16C is failing!

A good source of replacement displays is from 12C of the same vintage, there was lots of them produced and they can often be obtained for a reasonable cost.  If you you look in the archives of the forums on hpmuseum.org you will find advise on what to look for for a suitable replacement.  I

OT: Argh--my old faithful HP16C is failing!

Today, I picked up my trusty HP16C that's been with me through thick and thin and noticed a black splotch extending across about half the display. This is with the power off. Is the LCD display failing? Can it be repaired? This thing has been a a sidekick of my for a very long time and I'd
