I received a package with some components from Conrad.

 


My Beolink 7000 with very weak back-light.



Assistant

 

1. Remove the two screws

 

2. Remove the cap.

 

3. Remove the last two screws.

 

4. Remove glass panel, don´t touch the inside. Be aware that the small four corner nuts don´t fall out.

 

5. Test the voltage. Should be around 130V

 

6. Disconnect display pcb from the other units. Be gentle with the ribbon cables. 

 

New electrolumiscent film.

 

Testing

 

7. Slide fixing rails to the left and remove them to release the LCD front frame. 

 

8. Remove front frame

 

9. Unsolder old film.

 

10. Unfold LCD display. Try not to touch the surfaces, especially the inside. Be very careful with the "rubber" profiles still on the glass. Those are the actual leads from the PCB to the LCD, if the will be miss positioned or contaminated with dirt dust or grease you will get an improper or faulty readout from the display.

 

11. Remove the luminescent foil. It's attache with two stripes of double sided tape on the backside.

 

Old and new.

 

12. Mark the size. Assure that you get the lead in the same position.

 

13. Cut it to correct size.
 

 

Ready for assembling.

 

14. Mount the new foil in position with two stripes of double sided tape on the back side. put the leads through the holes in the PBB.

 

15. Solder and reassemble in opposite order as the disassembling.

 

16. Testing....I do believe it's working...good...
 

 

17. Adjust the LCD contrast.
 

 

Potentiometer for contrast adjustment of the LCD.

 

18. And now the recapping, unsolder and remove tin housing. The five now visible capacitors should be replaces. The two violet ones to the left, the two smd´s in the middle and the green one to the right. This has been described in other threads  so I won't go deep into it.
 

 

19 Prepare the new components.

 

 

20. Soldered in place.
 

 

21. All components changed. Be careful with the small smd´s, the can be tricky to solder due to its small size. I also changed all other electrolytic capacitors. Not necessary now but just precaution.
 

 

22. Reassembled and working perfect again.🙂
 

 

 

excellent - you are a LEGEND 🤒
