hi all G users. after I red almost all posts regarding LCD bug I am that opinion it's just software problem and hardware replacement doesn't help (rather not guarantee solution).
so on this forum i would like to ask you to post SHORTLY your experiences with occasional or other attempts that help you (even if temporary) to remove or reduce this failure.
I expect from this some kind of guide we all can use if our display runs really unreadable.
( e.g. version 2.00 update, push and hold EXIT button, connecting dry midi cable to midi out etc. ; don't foget to mention current display status when "healing" )
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

Re: LCD SOLUTIONS
I don't think that it's a software problem. Mine was repaired more than a year ago and the screen doesn't show any failure since then. The service changed the screen, so it's a hardware problem.
Before this I've noticed that with low temperature the screen have more problems, but keeping the unit in a warm place doesn't fix the screen at all. Mine died in the summer. It seems that some electronic part of the screen degrades over time, and the screen finally stops working.
The only solution I know is to replace the screen.

Re: LCD SOLUTIONS
sorry, i dont think this is a software problem.. taking a dead JG in and getting the display replaced and it working immediately after shows it is the display module.. if it was software the problems would still be there.
Roland (and hence us) got shafted by poor quality displays..

Re: LCD SOLUTIONS
thanks for your posts so far. of course from all lcd problems there must be also case with failed hardware. but iI still insist on my opinion.
as another proof I present my experience that brings lcd to normal state - lcd contrast adjusting while patch edit screen looks weird.

Re: LCD SOLUTIONS
Patrik, apologies, but it sounds like you are confusing the contrast adjustment with a properly *&(#(@ screen failure. The LCD is backlit orange and as such may need some adjustment to make it right in your environment(ie: minimizing artifacts while maximizing contrast). It's an inconvenience, it's imperfect, it's old school, but it's cheaper than a Fantom. It's not that bad.
An LCD failure on Juno, when you have one, is noteably more disturbing - things rearrange, things disappear, the screen splits, characters goes crazies.
It's not a software bug and you cannot present your experience as proof unless you can describe it step-by-step. The reason noone has replied with the answer you are looking for is because everyone replaced the hardware and fixed the problem.
That is the solution. The end.

Dbijoux, my friend, I believe you intended to type "characters go crazy."dbijoux wrote:…characters goes crazies.
Characters going crazy is indeed a problem, not merely with the Juno-G's display, but across the entire Roland Clan.
