Great... my emax doesn't work anymore after trying this replacement screen. It will turn on, the screen turns on but it doesn't display characters and the function buttons are unresponsive. WTF!! Everything seems to be connected correctly so I don't know what the problem is. I'm going to part it out I guess.

I see the ground and +5 on the Emax LED board but the spacing on the new display seems a bit wider than the original. Do I have to solder the pins on the new display and bend them to fit the Emax board? > > --- In emax@yahoogroups.com, "jammie" <jammie.emma@> wrote: > > > > on the rack you would still need the pot as the angle on the rack is a negitive veiw angle voltage > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: Jason Mc > > To: emax@yahoogroups.com > > Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 12:05 AM > > Subject: [emax] Re: LCD replacement from RS > > > > > > > > Sorry about the last post gave the wrong part number, this is exact part I used. > > > > I have recently replaced my el foil display with this one: > > > > Mouser Part #: 763-NHD-0216EZ-FLYBW > > Manufacturer Part #: NHD-0216EZ-FL-YBW > > Manufacturer: Newhaven Display > > Description:LCD Character Display Modules STN- Y/G Transfl 85.0 x 36.0t > > > > http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Newhaven-Display/NHD-0216EZ-FL-YBW/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMt7dcPGmvnkBq9RSAvEJGmRKdDSboNhMSQ%3d > > > > $11.35 US > > > > 1) De-soldered the old header pins from the original display, soldered > > them into new display. > > 2) Removed the old EL-Foil Driver (black box) > > 3) Used router and file on case to accommodate new display thickness > > 4) De-solder surface mount resistor R7, Solder resistor in R8 > > location.
