Hi The failure you describe is not one I have seen. The two LCDs that failed in my machines had horizontal bars of slightly darker contrast. When the contrast was varied the bars remained slightly darker than the rest of the screen. Eventually the -5V dropped to -2V as I assume the current

Hi! Yeah, everything seems stable on the +-5v side. I will try to replace all the caps. But probably the screen is going bad :( Thank you, > On Oct 14, 2018, at 10:57 AM, Fugu ME100 wrote: > > Hi > > If the voltage change on pin 4 is smooth the voltages look right - pg 38 > of the M100

Hi If the voltage change on pin 4 is smooth the voltages look right - pg 38 of the M100 reference manual gives 0-4V as the range for V2. It feels like VR1 is working correctly, indeed the whole contrast circuit would appear to be fine. With the screen plugged in can you measure the -5V and +5V

Hi! I tried what was suggested and I get 0-3.8v on pin four (without the screen plugged in). Can’t seem to figure out how to measure pin 4 with the screen plugged in. When i turn the contrast knob the screen starts to jump around the display random line sporadically. I have to turn the
