My friend has a Tandy PC-7 programmable calculator with a damaged LCD screen. The screen looks like it was squeezed in the middle, causing the cell to permanently darken in that area. The screen is attached to the calculator body using something similar to a ribbon cable, flat wires stuck between 2 pieces of adhesive tape. Has anyone ever tried to replace such an arrangement? The screen is 2-3 inches wide, so the connections are impossibly tiny, but they're not exactly large either. Radio Shack said they can order a replacement screen, but to have them do the repair would cost more than the value of the calculator. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Jeff Siegel | JXS118 at PSUVM | | 24 Atherton Hall | | | 862-5124 | "No news is netsnooze........ | +-------------------------------+---------------------------------------+
