HP 35 display

[Thomas Puettmann]

Thanks, Tony. With the magnifier glass the dark area looked somehow 3D. I built a small 20 x microscope with a second lense. I see now that the dark area is totally 2D. You were right from the very beginning!

Somehow, this changed my mind. Having inspected the segment that closely, I can now distinguish a 8 from a 9 and a 6 from a 5. At least, if I have reading glasses on. Without no chance.

I will not repair this as long as this does not get worse.

I have taken the image as my Avatar. :-)

Thanks to everybody for the quick and generous advice!

[Edit:] I think we are all getting older, and some things don't work as we would like them to work. I consider the half-defect segment to add some kind of "personality" to the machine.
