180c had some vinegar syndrome happening. It Is a parts lcd. Will this work? Just trying to save this as the display is recapped and good. I pulled off the top layer today. What an absolute stench!

that cheap chinese products, in the EU these would probably not be allowed, just for the inhealthy offgasing. I bought a replacement bellows for my Linhof large format camera from china and it took almost a year till the chemical stench was gone.
sorry for OT

I am also looking at lcd polarizer film to recover a couple of my prized HP palmtops, the problem is light transmittancy, original had may be 46% these are more like 38% so the image could be darker…. some vendors on aliexpress do sell LCD specific film but I yet have to bit the bullet

I’m honestly not sure what film these LCDs use. TFT color LCDs use film that’s easy to find. Passive matrix grayscale LCDs use FSTN film which has only just recently come available again, and it’s expensive. I’m told that film also works on passive matrix color displays.
But TFT grayscale? Not sure if the TFT color film is the same or not.
