Hi all,

this thread is intended on helping you if you have some problems with your LCD.

Basically the LCD is made or 2 parts:

* A custom made PCB that I've done that holds the buttons and the connector that goes to the cart
* A standard LCD display that can be bought off-the-shelves.

In most cases the problem that you'll find is either a broken button or the LCD going broken.

In both cases it's an easy repair if you have some basic solder skills. The most complicated part is desoldering.

BUTTONS

So if your buttons have gone broken, you can buy them from any of these links:

@Mitsurugi-w please post here the ones that people can buy from the US.

LCD

If your problem is the LCD, then you can buy it from ebay. Just make sure that it's a 2x16 with HD44780 standard. The exact model I buy is: ART016002E31-BIW-R-03, but as long as the dimensions are as in attachment., you should be OK and you can choose another color if you like.
