HP-71B LCD Problem! How Common?

[KimH]

I have several 71B on hand, all versions

2 of them have an issue like this - both are the later plastic-back versions

- one has a character which is messed up (some pixels)

- one has a “block” of the LCD being “faint”

I have not had the need to repair, but suspect this is the strip between the LCD glass and the main (fixed) board - another rubber Zebra adventure.

Not easy to repair, but should be possible if you can heat-stake.

If anyone has suggestions, I’d also like to hear them.
