Great video & epic repair. Thanks for saving another unique retro device from the e-waste pile 🙂
Nice job! But I think one of the crucial parts around 51:01 is missing. How did you attach the FFC to the LCD driver? It would be lovely to see what it looks like. Thanks anyway, fascinating to see how so much patience is rewarded the way it should 👍
When replacing a cable or even a keyboard matrix is not easy like on this thing consider designing a new one.
Dimitry Muravyev shows on video the restauration of ZX Spectrum (USSR made clone).
In great detail he shows how to replicate an existing design and order a pcb fab to make them a reality.
Nice.
FWIW, the flashing of a scrolling screen was normal for the LCD technology of the time.
