Which donor LCD display for HP48gx ? - husmus - 09-04-2024 02:11 PM
I've seen folks say they've used an HP39g or HP49g LCD as a donor for the HP48GX. How about the HP39gs? Is that one compatible? Thanks.

That question was answered one minute later here :-)

All Saturn based calcs will work - 39gs and 40gs are Arm based and won't work.
Are you looking for a black display? I am asking, because I have some HP48 displays stored for spare parts. I can send you one free of charge.
Many HP49 are listed on ebay for a small price, but prices are increasing.
You can search for an HP48 with keyboard error at a low price.
Do you have some experience with display exchange? It is a bit tricky :-)

Hi,
i have sent a PN with some instructions to open the calc 'chemical' without force and replace the display.
Here is my HP48SX (made in USA) with a 49G black display.
The old display had a very poor contrast and the calc had the common keyboard issue.
My newer HP48G has a blue display but with good contrast, so i decided not to change the display and repair only the keyboard problem and upgraded to 768K (5 port) RAM.
5 ports are enough, believe me.
Happy programming
Ralf
