I've used isopropanol for cleaning the display connectors and the
elastomer strip with sucess (last time for a Becker Mexico car radio...)

Hi All,
The item is indeed the "zebra strip".
Alignment is pretty good (I think) as the case ensures it.
So it sounds like it might need a clean. I shall look into that one...
Postscript... Just searched the world for DeoxIT and it turns out the local
Australian supplier has a shop 50m from where I work. Yeah!!

Hi,
There are (at least) two types of connector. Some displays use both types.
First is "Zebra-strip" which is an elastomer sandwich of
conducting/insulating material that conducts vertically but not
horizontally. These rely on mechanical clamping and are what Gary is
referring to. The other is a tape with conductive tracks that is stuck
down. I think this is what Jim has. These can sometimes be re-attached by
burnishing with a rounded tool. If they have come completely unstuck I've
had some sucess by holding it in place with thin adhesive (Kapton) tape and
applying pressure with a foam block between the strip and the case. Good
luck.

You need to clean the elastomer. I've done this with Caig deoxit, though
I would search their website to see if they have a special product for
the task.

Generally the LCD is just pressed against the elastomer, so you may need
to see that the pressure is sufficient.

Apologies for being a teensy tiny bit OT. But is relevant on the whole.
I have a remote control for an air conditioner whos display is only
partially working.
Upon internal inspection it seems the sticky thingy (technical term)
connecting the LCD display to the board is not attached properly.
Any hints on how to reattach these?
