Re: LCD replacement

2008-07-14 by duncan

a couple of observations, now it's been in a few days.

the p3's brains got scrambled somewhere along the way- I had the same
patterns there, but with miscellaneous defects, like "tbase = ????". 

it's entirely possible that the memory got a little static jolt, as
after thirty odd years (some of them very odd) of engineering, I can
be a little cavalier sometimes. so.... back up y'r p3 before doing
this swap-out.

also, the PLED-saver screen timeout, which didn't save my PLED... it's
still active but does something rather odd & frankly a bit disturbing-
it shuts off the characters in the LCD but not the backlight, so that
one gets the impression of maladjusted contrast. 

if one were to fit the LCD & then go for a cup of tea, the better to
admire it, one might subsequently spend a while working the contrast
trimmer back & forth with no obvious effect... the hot-spot on this
adjustment is quite narrow anyway.

is the screensaver still necessary with the LCD?
