NEED REPLACEMENT LCD DISPLAY FOR JUNO-G!
Posted: 05:15, 14 November 2020
Yeah, looks like I'm beating the proverbial dead horse here, but does anyone on here know where I can source a replacement LCD display for my Juno-G? I contacted Roland directly... no dice - discontinued and none in stock. I searched the web up & down, also to no avail, so again, if there's someone that has one to sell or knows where I can get one, please let me know.
I decided to see if any of what I read on numerous sites suggested and I pulled the flex ribbon connector from the main board to clean the contacts, and the flat contact pins were all screwed up. I got them straightened out, then gently reconnected it, and now have a little more than half of the display working again. I went ahead and ordered a new ribbon cable, but after looking again, the other end where it connects to small driver board on the back of the display unit appears to be covered with what I'm guessing is epoxy. Would I even be able to replace that cable? I'm afraid to try and remove that black epoxy... I mean at least right now, I have half of the display working, but if the connection under that epoxy is soldered, with the contacts being sooooo small and close together, I don't know if I would be able to solder the new one in place. I've attached pics. If there's anyone that has dealt with the same issue I just described, please get in touch. Thanks in advance all!
