Re: Sharp PC 1211 Display change -- overnight Message #2 Posted by Valentin Albillo on 14 May 2012, 11:08 a.m., in response to message #1 by gene wright
Hi, Gene:
Sorry for your loss, I don't think that's repairable at all though it will still work as always, just much less readable.
Did you place it somewhere at high ambient temperature (a car under the sun, etc) ?
Antique yellow LCD displays eventually suffer this fate, I've seen three SHARP handhelds affected this way. Aware of this problem, SHARP released the same identical machine with a better grey LCD, the SHAR PC-1212, which is less prone to suffer from this.
Matter of fact one of my yellow-LCD SHARP PC-1211 is in this sorry state while all of my otherwise identical grey-LCD SHARP PC-1212 units are just fine.
Best regards from V.
