Screen replacement?
My VNA arrived with a busted screen, very bad packaging, unit works when connected to my computer.
I received a full refund from Amazon despite what the vendor wanted which was a 40% refund.. I would like to replace the screen but can't find a model or part number for it. As suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help! |

I don't have the information you seek; however there is a larger version of the nano selling for around $150.? You might consider this as an opportunity to get a larger screen.? The original is painfully small.? In some cases I find need to use a magnifying glass.

Compounding this is the fact that young engineers don't seem to have a grasp of hardware and those who do aren't young (such as myself) and so have vision issues. Perhaps you can locate a donor unit that has failed in some other way. Bob K6DDX On Saturday, December 21, 2019, 02:25:18 PM PST, <va3nek@...> wrote:

One of our members posted a document in the "Filed" section showing his upgrade procedure to a 3.2" screen @ /g/nanovna-users/files/Hardware%20Mods/NanoVNA%20new%203.2%20LCD%20display%20Herman%20ON1BES.pdf .
If you decide to go with a 2.8" replacement screen and have difficulty seeing the screen fonts then you might give hugen's 0.4.0AA firmware a try. It has a larger font size with the main penalty being only 4 memory storage locations instead of 5. See attachment for example display. - Herb |

I don't think that has touch capability.Bob

I had the same problem.
Then the replacement screen arrived smashed to pieces. These idiots have no idea how to pack things for safe transport so hammer it into them when you buy one that it must be packed properly. One other thing to watch - some displays have the ribbon connector for the touch screen on the wrong side. I've decided not to bother replacing the screen on mine and will just use it with a computer. -- Terry VK5TM ( ) |

I looked at it and it's not clear just how it replaces the original screen.? Is there a connector you just swap, or what?? I would give it a shot to make for a bigger display.

I have had some trouble with AliExpress as well.? I am putting them on the bottom of my list of suppliers, along with Amazon.? So far Ebay is on top. Bob K6DDX On Sunday, December 22, 2019, 08:39:46 PM PST, Terry VK5TM <vk5tm@...> wrote:

Thanks for that good info. I ordered the 3.2" touch screen.
Cost at present is 11 Euro. Thanks also to Herman, ON1BES, for upgrade documentation. I need no extension parts, as already I have a larger (hand ground eliminating, balun avoiding) 6mm PE board with N adapters. See pic. I only must make the larger cover frame. 73.
