A new replacement LCD for Tandy PC-3 & Sharp PC-1250/51/55

Video sponsor: PCBWay: $5 for 2 layer PCBs with 24hr turnaround at https://www.pcbway.com/ In this video we fit a new replacement LCD in a Tandy PC-3 which is the same as the Sharp PC-1250/51/55. Thankfully someone is reproducing the LCDs for these vintage pocket computers. (Link further down.) We’ll try a different method to separate the old LCD glass from the adhesive on the metal frame. We’ll try using a hotplate to soften the glue rather than acetone. Will it work? If so it should save hours of waiting. Join us and see how we made out.
