Ultra Arrived - Crooked Screen Help?


 

My Ultra arrived yesterday from R&L.? The screen is crooked but firmly attached.? Any suggestions on how to release the tape and re-apply?

Thanks

Rich

Carefully pull at the short side of the display opposite to the LCD cable connector as seen on the back of the BCP
Don't yank but with some gentle pull the tape will release the display after some seconds.
Be careful no to bend the LCF flat cable beyond its current shape. Lifting the LCD at the non cable side about half an inch should be OK. Leave the side with the cable initially resting on the PCB.
Once the display is free, keep at just above the tape and position within the square printed on the PCB. Slowly press down and give the tape some time to stick by applying gentle pressure.on the 4 sides of the display.
Mount the display/PCB back in the case and do not overtighten the 4 case screws. Once the gap between the two case halves is gone and you feel the "end" stop.
Overtightening will cause the touch panel to stop working. If this happens, release the screws a bit.
