No, I don't actually. I didn't even think to ask for that back.

Yea I can do very tiny soldering also. But around 60 of them? And for this crappy screen ? i don't see the point. But I have a bunch of these if you want them. Pay for the shipping and you can have one.

Thanks for the nomad screens jandaran. After much analysis i cannot solder onto the board and lcd like i had thought. It is a lcd of the Heat Seal type. Where a conductive epoxy is sandwiched between the motherboard and flex ribbon of the lcd then placed on a special machine that heats it and presses it to the contacts. I cannot duplicate this process and dont have a machine to do it. Soldering will destroy everything.

Process is explained here:

Thats ends that. Project abandoned.

Guess what im gonna do now?

Huh, looking at jon's screens again, it looks to me like the new screen has a bit more space on the right side, and no less on the left. Odd.

Do you do any other genesis related mods? I have a v7 model 1 genesis that could REALLY use a crystal clear audio mod. So much static at higher volumes.

Nope, sorry.

After running the process thru my mind for months I finally figured a way to do it without ruining the ribbon. A popsicle stick!
First I used solder paste on the ribons contacts,aligned them to the the motherboard and used the tip of a 30 watt iron to just touch the solder and while using the popsicle stick to hold down the ribbon. First time I did it I got 3 quarters of a screen,after a second touchup full picture.
I am surprised i pulled it thru,I thought for sure I would have a melted mess with bridge solder contacts. The popsicls made the difference as well as a hot 30 watt iron and the tinyist amount of solder on the tip so there wouldnt be flowback and the paste to bind to the ribbon.
Thanks again jandran
