Hi Hajo!
I just replaced the backlight of my 01/W this week. It was a hell-of-a-job and took me about 4 hours!
The backlight was sort-of-glued to the PCboard but I made a piece of hard-paper strip and pushed it between the backlight and PCB. That was the only way to get it loose.
After i replaced the backlight I did not test the 01/W it before I reassembled the stuff, maybe I was just too confident it would succeed
Anyway, it works fine now!

Another happy 01/W user

Hi Joseph,

it seems that you have detached the contact strips (“zebra strips”) of the LCD matrix. Maybe a total loss (new display unit required), but there is also a chance to manually reattach the stripes unless they are damaged: Remove the metal shield (see this photo), try to rearrange the stripes and glass as good as possible, then test the unit before remounting the shield. It is a delicate but not impossible job.

All the best,
Hajo
