It's duplicating the first column pixel across the entire row. Weird. Like the first bit is getting latched in and never released. On Sun, Jul 8, 2018, 10:33 PM Gregory McGill wrote: > https://photos.app.goo.gl/ktfiYUmd959bDVpL6 some quick video of what it > does > > On Sun, Jul 8, 2018, 6:35

Cleaning the flux off will not fix anything in itself (in most cases) it just lets you see the solder joints in that area better. If it were me I would look at the schematic and see which driver ships control that section of the screen and give all those joints a good once over. Jeff

Also there are two dead keys x and l both are in different scan rows so I'm thinking it is the switches themselves I can't seem to test the switches with a continuity tester and hesitate to try to yank the key caps off until I confirm they actually come off On Sun, Jul 8, 2018, 9:17 AM Jeffrey

When I bought my t200s off eBay they were working units and in the $75 range. Guess things have changed in the last several years. And maybe t200s are simply deteriorating. I’m guessing most of the people buying t200s are right here on this list. My advice about buying behavior on eBay is set

That looks like some flux residue. Use some 90% or stronger isopropyl or denatured alcohol and a toothbrush/cloth to gently clean it up. It is hard to tell from the photo but some of those pins do not look well soldered to me. Jeff From: M100 On Behalf Of Gregory McGill Sent: Sunday,

The fact that the whole screen clears shows that the LCD is being reset, i.e. all LCD driver chips are getting reset and clearing each pixel, the default power on state of each pixel is black. So, this should mean that the LCD itself is OK, as it can go to both black and clear. A ‘RESET’ goes

Yes well make an offer worked out this time. And I didn't pay 125 for either of them. An offer is better than "you can fix it" to these sellers as if they could fix it they would have already. They are pricing these way too high for not working and no box etc.. letting them know what they are
