EU Microvision Backlit LCD Kit Install Guide Supplement

Some of the EU Microvision LCD trays are slightly different. I’ve run into 2 examples so far. The LCD tray is much clearer with a unique mold around where the LCD is held in place. These new areas need to be trimmed as shown below.

The EU Microvision LCD tray is molded slightly different. These 2 area pictures need to be trimmed.
USe the same technique, install the original LCD flat. Use a sharpie to mark the first lines on the 2 shorter support walls. These get trimmed down to the height of the original LCD already completed.
Once the wall height is verified clearing at or below the LCD. Move to the next support wall. Using the sharpie, mark the wall to the same height.
From this side, add the original brown/black zebra connector for spacing measurement Add the backlight unit.
Sharpie mark the edges when it reaches past this wall.
Score the plastic on both sides.
Take out the marked section.
Small cutters are used to take small cuts in the wall.
Sharp small cutters are used to take small cuts in the wall to create a scorpion tail.
Use a file to smooth out rough cuts.
This is the idea. The LCD sits in the tray and the backlight unit sits flush on top.
LCD and backlight unit in place.
Another pic of the right side.
Attach the backlight unit with resistor wiring.
Ready to roll mainboard onto LCD tray.
LCD with custom pink zebra connector. The original brown/black zebra connector is too short.
During assembly I noticed a wire lead from the capacitor is sticking straight up and too close to the black lead of the backlight unit. You will observe this during mainboard to LCD tray assembly…
… if this lead is sticking up like this, it might touch the black lead on the backlight unit…
…unsolder, bend lead in depicted direction so it’s flat, resolder.
A slight difference in the internal wire routing. The battery card sits in the tray before rear case assembly. In this unit, the wires were frayed from the initial assembly process. I removed each wire from the mainboard and stripped back and re-tinned each wire for better connection. Return back to the main backlit LCD kit install.
View at this angle to verify all lines are mirrored.
You can verify good connections to the LCD by tilting forward to see blocks in a mirror image. Flickering or missing vertical lines will show up viewing at this angle. Check zebra connections and the tape. A spec of plastic flake in between the zebras connections can causes display issues.
All done!
