Hi everyone
I have serious problems with backlighting both MGB and DMG consoles. I'll be very specific so the post could be a bit long, sorry.
Right now i have only 1 MGB backlighted, this is because the reflective film of the display was VERY easy to pull off so i did the mod in less than 15minutes.
Removing the reflective from other LCD i had, was something terrible and broke all of them
Sometimes the reflective is attached so hard that it cant be removed with 1 pass like every tutorial shows, i need to use cutter and peel little pieces until i removed it all..
Also, after i did this, i have in my hand a display FULL of glue, and i really cant make it go away, i tried with Alchol, nail polish remover, kitchen degreaser.... Rubbing (carefully obviously) with everything, and glue was still there.
Im talking about HOURS.
Again:
Well the result of handling over and over the display was
1st display: broke ribbon cable (my fault i wasnt enough careful) -MGB
2nd display: vertical lines missing (rage destroyed it, i couldnt know they could be repaired) -DMG
3rd display: HORIZONTAL lines missing (rage destroyed, i tried everything, applying little heat at white connector with hair dryer, nothing changed) -DMG
So, what should i do if i face again a bad display like these 3? It's stupid i succesful backlight 1 LCD out of 4 only because of a glue matter...
Let me know your experience and give me some suggestion, thanks a lot!
