Had a slightly used Logitech Harmony One remote laying around here for several years now. It's been dormant since the LCD cracked due to my sitting on it after I had it for only three months. Although the remote still worked only the top third was displaying right with the rest being black. Checking into having it fixed was well over a hundred bucks so I just bought a new one. I kept the broken one around (like car parts) in case I needed something off it.
I recently found a supplier on GoldBay that sells displays for the H1 remote and decided to drop the 37.50 "buy it now" on it and try to fix it. (Thanks for buying that 4611S Tom)
You really don't know how fat your fingers are until you mess with things such as these. Searching the net and watching the sellers videos I was able to disassemble it without destroying it. Covered up screws, snap lock cover, and stick on grip pad makes it a task.
Removal of the cracked LCD was relatively easy. Soldering on the new LCD I had some issues. I used the seller's recommended 600° iron temp. It took me three tries (along with random expletives) to get the contacts soldered to the board and actually work. Unfortunately seems a few pads lifted on me.
Anyone have a thought on that 600° iron temp???
I'm happy it works again though. Now I have a backup for the one I'm wearing out.:cheers:
