Replacement LCD display board

[sparkhead]

Hi,

I got my VU+ Uno4k SE back in 2019, still going strong but I'm getting white lines on the front LCD display.
I've seen online that the display is on its way out.

Anyone know where I can order a new LCD panel board from ? I'm perfectly capable of replacing it myself.

TIA

Often this type of fault is not the display but the connection between the LCD and the board.

I don't know how they attach the LCD on your box but LCDs are often/usually connected to the board with Elastomeric Connectors

What may work is removing the LCD from the board. If its got an elastomer connector the elastomer will just be physically squashed between the board and the LCD module - not soldered. Gently clean the contacts on the board and perhaps the LCD connector. This youtube video may give some idea about fixing, and some advice.
