Re: How to clean the display of an 11C? Message #4 Posted by Tony Duell (UK) on 27 Oct 2001, 2:03 p.m., in response to message #3 by Cameron
There are several different versions of the Voyagers. The earliest models (I think these existed as 11C and 12C only)
had a removeable logic/display module based on a flexible PCB. The keyboard PCB was heat-staked to the top case, but the logic would just lift out once you took the bottom case off. And of course it was easy to clean the LCD.
Later versions have one PCB carrying the logic chips, display and keyboard contacts. This PCB is heat-staked to the top case. With this design it's possible to replace chips, etc with the PCB still in place, but to get to the display
you have to undo the heat staking, repair the fault, and then fix the PCB back in place.
I'd try yhe can of compressed air that other have suggested before trying to remove the PCB.
