Postman deliverd this one today, it appears the lcd is dead, so this one will take some time to fix...

The watch looks great, shame for the display though Is there a way to replace it? Or it can't be fixed? It'd be a pity to not see it working...

[dutchsiberia]

yeah too bad it's dead in this way... The lcd seems to be glued to the circuit board? I think finding a working module is my next challenge for the following years.....

the display is glued to the module with silver epoxy.
easy to remove and to reassemble if only you have a spare display:

I spent many hours reading your awesome site :)

Yes I "only" have to find a spare display. No idea if the module is dead though...

[azimuth_pl]

if the module works there should be sufficient voltage on the (silver epoxy) display points.

[dutchsiberia]

Good tip, thanks! About 24 volts is it? (or is that only with the dsm variants)

[AlmightyTallest]

I think only the DSM variants used a higher voltage.

[azimuth_pl]

not 24Volts :) that's the safety limit for a human :)
it should be about 1,5V on the display points but I don't really remember as I played with the watch a few years back.
