hello Forum Asking all learn-ed forum members please! ( I know zlich about LCD displays - I know how to swap components such as an LCD Panel - My question is - I have an Air conditioning Controller that has Broken LCD panel. Unfortunately there are no longer any spare Controllers out there - except one! - so Im looking to see if I could replace the LCD Panel from another spare Controller - the catch - the other Controller is the exact same Model but it displays Japanese characters (controller was used overseas in Japan).....can I use the Japanese character displaying LCD panel and swap it to my English Character displaying Controller - would it be able to display English Characters?!? |

If it's just a dot matrix display then most likely yes. Do you have a picture of the one functioning and displaying Japanese characters? |
| jjoko:
Only can find a character LCD test pattern for the english display version - as attached |

There is no way it will display English characters, but the display is likely to work and at least will restore functionality. You will just have to learn some Japanese. The text is just a single "segment" from the display point of view, it does not know or care what characters it displays, so there is no way to change that. |
