41-CX with 'Creeping LCD Disease' Message #1 Posted by Tim C on 2 Nov 2011, 1:43 a.m.
After 20+ years of flawless service, my 41CX is fading fast on me.
The top portion of the LCD is turning black, like as if someone spilled ink inside.
I see many 41C and 41CV's with Fullnut LCD's available with corroded battery terminals and such for parts but working LCDs and my question is, is there anyway to transplant my in-perfect-health 41CX guts into one of those Fullnut housings and use its LCD?
I've already contacted the HP repair houses and been told the Halfnuts are not repairable, but what about a transplant?
Everything on my CX is in fine condition (battery terminals, module sockets, keyboard etc) and my Memory and Advantage modules work 100%, just the display is toast.
I'd hate to lose my trusted partner over this tragic 'Creeping LCD Disease'...
