Re: TinySA Ultra - screen fixings

Regarding possible gluing solutions please read this thread:
In short there are better solutions if you are willing to learn how to use epoxy glue.
Super glue is quicker but in the long term not so good. Also vapor deposits from glue will leave a permanent white mate non transparent layer around a deposit area. You can read more details about experiences we had with it in the post I linked to.
What is not written in the post explicitly is that when superglue breaks it will permanently damage surfaces. So a better easy fix is hot glue, also mentioned in the post.

?
I recently noticed a problem with the screen used in my TinySA Ultra. It was beginning to physically move from side to side within the plastic case.
?
The problem is that the screen assembly is secured in place along three edges by metal strips, and these are fastened to the PCB. The fourth edge, with the ribbon connectors, has no metal strip present.
?
The metal strips have small clips that engage with the plastic backplate of the LCD display, and over time the plastic tabs have worn away, allowing the screen to slide from side to side. As there is no fourth strip to stop this from happening, the movement puts additional strain on the Mylar PCB interconnection between the screen and main PCB.
?
The solution is simple, add just a few drops of "superglue" to hold the LCD in the correct position within the metal mounting frames.
?
This is not a big problem, but if you notice a slight movement of the screen, it may be worth checking, before it becomes any worse.

Regards,
