problem with lcd attachment to pcb

Dec 10, 2011 3 Replies

I have a set of accutech strain gauge electronic bathroom scales. The lcd started behaving erratically recently (scales are a several years old). As a matter of interest I pulled them apart to have a look. The lcd is connected to the pcb by a clear plastic? film with fourteen carbon? tracks about 2mm wide. It seems to have been glued to the pcb which has corresponding copper pads. When I went to replace the pcb in the case I noticed that the film had completely come away from the pcb. There seems to be no way to reattach it other than regluing it. I was thinking super glue but is there a specialised conductive adhesive which could do the job? Or some sort of edge connector which could clamp onto the film?



Is scart now defunct? Does new equipment still use it?

OOPS meant to start new post.

You may be able to bodge it up with the conductive paint sold at car parts shops for repairing rear window demisters.
