LCD design, is this good enough?
Refrigerator:
awesome stuff, these sharps seem quite prone to LCD failures.

I opened the thing back up, placed a paper shim in the bezel to make sure the LCD didn't move from where I thought it should be, cleaned the pads and the elastomeric strips with alcohol, made sure not to touch them, put them in place, and buttoned it all up again. And....
A qualified success! Qualified because (a) I still need to reproducibly replace an LCD without several tries, and (b) you have to replace the contrast adjustment with a 240k resistor.
What's interesting is that on the original, the LCD was placed into the bezel with an adhesive strip, so once it was in the bezel, you couldn't move it. And the original LCD does have a little play in the bezel. I'll have to look more closely at an original to see if they glued the LCD in the same place as I put it.
barbeque:
Congratulations! That looks amazing.
I would have been tempted to slip in an easter egg in the "mode" line. I remember as a kid holding a lot of LCDs up to bright lights to see what modes I haven't managed to enable yet/weren't offered on my model.
HwAoRrDk:
Looks great. As Dave would say: "Like a bought one!" :-+

Final video! I put this one up on diode.zone first -- I want to support a non-YouTube video streaming instance.
