Emax

It's me again who started this thread and I have a question:

Fortunately I finally managed it to make the display run again but one line of pixels weren't working. So I decided to disassemble the unit again conviced that I know what I have to do. Just a very little more pressure.

Then I reassembled the unit and started it and what did happen ?!

I could cry...

I tried to change the pressure.... more .... less ... doesnt help... cleaned the contacts doesnt help .... everything for around 20 times

I believe that the display itself works, because I can see that the pixels on the left side flash if I want to load a bank (but the display simply can't show it).

Can you help me ?... Maybe other recommendations?

Thank you so much !
