SuSuperhands Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Just joined this site to say I would like 1 please! I've collected all the games, my screen isn't horrible but has 3 little rot spots and is pretty dim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 Below are some pictures of the disassembly of a Microvision, as well as the other 4 samples I received. As mentioned, the new screens have the top polarizer and bottom polarizing reflector attached to the glass, so re-assembly reverses all the steps, except you don't need the front polarizer. I did use the polarizing reflector, only because it helps keep the side Zebra connector in the correct place. Re-installation with the new LCD took about 5 minutes (although I've put these together a few times before). 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 How hard were they to install? Pretty straight forward? Basic soldering? It looks fantastic, awesome work on this! See pictures above. If all goes well, and the supplier can fix the contrast range, then no soldering is required. If they can't fix it, then one resistor (I would supply) would need to be installed in parallel with one of the existing resistors. This could be done by soldering ideally, or optionally with a couple of drops of conductive epoxy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekre Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I'm interested in buying a screen. Hopefully the install will be straight-forward. Thanks for doing this. David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen's Retro Show Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I would like to be on the list for one screen. Glen Glen's Retro Show On YouTube 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcadeJunkie Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 just as a side note..... once these start getting into systems and people see what a new screen looks like, this project is gonna spread like crazy. This is something that MV fans have wanted for so long and with all screens eventually dying over time, this will be an absolute MUST for future generations to enjoy them. Thanks again 5-11under for bringing this to fruition! P.S. so how does one go about getting into the Microvision Brotherhood? I want in! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+5-11under Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 As an FYI, the supplier is still looking into the contrast range issue. There was some delay because I had to do some investigating and voltage measuring. Hopefully that will be resolved soon. When resolved, I'll set a future date (1-2 weeks) for any final pre-orders before ordering the production run. At the same time, I'll publish a closer estimate on the final prices. That will give everyone 1-2 weeks to update their request, in case the lower price changes things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) Am I too late to pre-order? I just got my hands on a Microvision...paid $20 for it, but it has the dreaded screen rot. Count me in for a replacement screen, if I'm not tardy to the party! Edited June 16, 2018 by Deteacher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegoodwillgamer Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 This is amazing! I would like at least 2. I have two Microvisions with the rot and a potential third coming next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+5-11under Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 Sorry for the lack of update. Been busy. As it turns out, to fix/tune the contrast, I need to send the supplier a Microvision. I'm preparing to send that out this week. There will be a delay here, but the project is still on. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stupus Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Definitely worth the wait to get these perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
