Title: Broken LCD display rev counter HELP !
Post by: Sparky337 on Wednesday, 07 June 2017, 07:21 AM
I thought I would have a go at changing my Clock LED's ! All was going well considering how small & fiddly they are , until I broke the LCD in the rev counter side whilst trying to remove it to get at the LED's 😱 :cry2:
It's a long shot but would anyone know where I could purchase  one of these ?
It's roughly 38mm x 18mm with 16 solder pins on the bottom edge .
:confused1:

I'm really not sure you can purchase these items separately. You might want to try for a set of broken clocks to see if you can rescue a part from them, but that aside - sadly I think you may be a bit stuffed. The only other thought I have is try pm'ing Thommohawk (who does the clock conversions) as if anyone knows where any parts may be, it would be him

I sent a set of damaged clocks to Thommohawk.

No sure if he ever got them.

Hmm, interesting...

I wonder if Thommohawk can repair the little clock buttons?

When I bought my 14, I didn't realise that the button on the right hand side doesn't 'click' It's as if the rubber button is empty, if you know what I mean. The result is that I can't set clock or use my trip counters.  :angry:

@DanGSX

These micro switches can be opened and repaired, i used a scalped to pry the holding tabs open.
Once opened you will see a small copper plate of about 2.5 - 3mm round. That "ring" needs to be convex shaped like a soup platter.
Mine was all flat and didn't click any more.

I went through the spares bin at work and found a Honeywell controller (type UDC.... )with micro switches. Opened these switches and.... They use the same convex rings. :boogie:

I think any industrial controller ( pressure / temperature / humidity ) will be using the same switches.

HTH
