AOR AR7030 display replacement

The display backlight started failing about a year and half ago and failed altogether about 1 year ago. This made the LCD display hard to read. It is not possible to repair this problem without destroying the display module. The display module had a part number on the back and the manufacturer was Power Tip. Contacting Power tip and their distributors revealed that they did not have any of that part number in stock, and if they had them in stock the minimum buy was 250 modules. I tried again last week, one distributor had 4 replacement modules made by AMPIRE left over from some large order, and they agreed to sell them to me. I installed one and it looks good. The display contrast control looked best turned all the way to one end where the "on" bits (dark) had the greatest contrast to the off bits (light). The display looks just like the original yellow-green backlight color. I want to keep one other module as a spare but I'm willing to sell the remaining two modules to anyone looking for a replacement. The module cost is $25 and shipping will be $5 to $10 depending on where you live. I have PDF documents of the original and replacement parts if anyone is interested I can email them to you. I can email pictures of the replacement display in operation and photos of the modules if interested. -- Telamon Ventura, California Do you by any chance still have any of the display modules for the AR7030? |
