LCD panel repair

The only thing you can do is clean the contacts to the connections. LCD panels themselves and their internal circuits are not repairable. The fix is to replace.

Look on craig's list for broken game model like yours that has issues that don't involve the display. It's probably pretty simple to transplant a working display, complete, into your otherwise-working game.

Good luck,

Thanks to all who responded, now that my news provider seems to be working again I was able to read and search properly and I have the answer, clean thoroughly with rubbing alcohol and reassemble.

Possible warning.

I have never cleaned the zebra strip on malfunctioning LCDs. But I have cleaned the board contacts, and the units were restored.

I would start by cleaning just the board contacts, and seeing what happens.

If you do wind up cleaning the zebra strip, do it by rolling the swab over the strip, rather than rubbing it.

Thanks for the warning. John.
