Gauge Display Teardown / Polarizer Replacement | SeaDoo GTX 4-Tec

Replacing a sun damaged LCD polarizer filter on a 2005 SeaDoo GTX 4-Tec gauge cluster. At the time I made this video, I couldn’t find any other videos on it. The only info I had to go on before attempting it was a forum post that had a few blurry pictures. If I were to do it now, there are several things I would do differently. Do your research before attempting this in your own equipment. Here's an example of a polarizing filter to use: amzn.to/3DbUWS5 (ad). I couldn't find a large adhesive filter like this when I performed the repair, so I ended up using a polarizer form an iPhone 6 cut down to size. Any LCD polarizer will work as long as it is larger than the LCD and oriented in the right way. If you have polarized sunglasses, make sure you look at the LCD through them before applying the polarizing film to make sure it is aligned in the proper orientation (if it is 90 degrees off, the screen will appear black when looking through polarized lenses). You can also test the display before applying the polarizer by plugging the board into the SeaDoo and holding the polarizer in front of the LCD. You'll also need: Silicone adhesive (for gluing the clear plastic to the black housing): https://amzn.to/2PLDcYR or Marine Epoxy (for repairing the cut in the housing): https://amzn.to/3efwzHv or Plastic welder kit (for repairing the cut in the housing): https://amzn.to/3gYpj4F (ad) Link to the forum post that prompted me to suggest the "Dremel Method": http://greenhulk.net/forums/showthrea... 0:00 Remove outer housing 1:40 Remove needles and gauge label 2:14 Remove damaged polarizer filter 2:44 Install new polarizer filter 3:06 Reinstall gauge label and needles 3:37 Replace circuit board in housing 4:12 Seal housing ⚠ DISCLAIMER: While I strive to make the information provided in this video as accurate as possible, I make no claims, promises, or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness or applicability of the content.
