nickel, I was highly disappointed, my brother in law gives me a lot of dead devices, all other previous devices were dead on arrival from various causes, and I have many good boards and components from them. I was hoping this would be the one that I could hand back to him repaired to justify the raw value of what he's given me.
Dead is dead though, you can't fix broken, and repair is... subjective. I COULD have strapped a couple 100 watt bulbs to the back of it and be done with it, the LCD itself was fully functional.
Sad, and I'd cry about the waste except that I've recycled all but the external front portion of the frame into my bits bins.
