Hello,
I recently acquired an Epson PX-8 Geneva that is in excellent condition (except for LCD screen).
I have torn it apart, replaced the batteries and tape drive belt and it is fully functional.
The problem is that the LCD screen is a disaster (see attached image).
I can read the text and the computer functions properly but I really want to fix the screen.
Per the manual, it is a twist nematic effect type lcd screen (TNM).
I have no problem tearing it apart if need be; However, I think the only aspect of lcd screens that can be repaired is polarizing laminations.
Does anyone know if that is the case with a TNM screen and if so, has anyone ever successfully re-laminated the polarizing layers?
Thanks,
Scott
