Hi All,
I'm about to replace a a 16c display with a 12c display. I have a 12c of the correct vintage, opened both cases and verified they are compatible. Both calcs are 1984 vintage, USA made. They don't have the separate display and flex circuit board, these are the next generation with display mounted directly on the circuit board. I believe they may be referred to as "fine pitch" from reading other forum postings. I have removed all heat stakes from both calcs and taken both circuit boards out.
I am after advice about removing and installing the actual display. There are 8 metal "tags" holding the display to the circuit board, which are part of the display bezel. Should I bend these tages up completely ? (I fear that may snap off), or just move them enough to get them back through the holes in the circuit board without actually bending them ? And how to I get them all through the eight holes again ??
All advice welcome :-)
Thanks
John
