Re: Keeping the 857D Screen For Long Life

Theo Marinos
 

My understanding is that the zebra stripes issue tends to occur mostly in rigs that have at some stage been installed in cars where they have been heat affected, but perhaps I'm wrong.?

I just had my screen replaced here in VK by a guy in Melbourne who specialises is Yaesu repairs and it cost me around $250AUD.

First, I have a perfectly fine working Yaesu 857D, screen and everything else.? I love it.?

I have read several messages over time that people had a failure of their 857 screen and were looking for a replacement.

I wonder?? Are there things I can do to lengthen the use of my screen and hopefully prevent failure?
Also? Are there things I should not do that will harm the use of my 857 screen?

I Could:
- Set the 857 screen at lower light intensity?

- Use a certain color which stresses the screen less or more?

- People who specialize at replacing the screen if it fails with "Zebra Stripes" or other problems?

?

Sure would would be nice to lengthen the life of my 857D, there are no others like it.

Thanks,

Peder, W7RPK
