HP-41C LCD
Message #1 Posted by Terry on 10 Aug 2003, 8:12 p.m.

okay, I corrected it to LCD - thanks. I have an HP-41C that I kept in a closet for several years when I did not need it. When I finally needed it again, I found the LCD has a brown haze to it. But it looks more like something under the display cover (if there is such a thing). I would like to know if that is true, that there is a separate cover protecting the LCD, and if I can get to it easily for replacement or cleaning. The repair info posted here does not go into removing the LCD, so I do not know if I can and whether or not the risk of having a non-functioning calculator would be worth it. The only thing bothersome about it is that it looks dirty.

Refer to Dave's photo to see which model you have:

If it's a half-nut, you're out of luck, the LCD cannot be removed. If you're lucky enough to have a full-nut, you can desolder the LCD and remove for cleaning.

I thought it was a "Luminosity Echo Device"

I replaced all LED occurrencies for LCD and it fit fine. (in the text, of course)
