VintageDigitalWatches - Ep 23 - Fix screen bleed - WOW

I am attempting a screen bleed fix technique with surprising results

[@hitmiccs]

I fixed a AX-210 LCD with this technique, it looks like new now - that's so amazing, it opens so many new possibilities to rescue some rare and often broken digitals. Thanks a lot, again, for showing this!

[@ajipurwoko6223]

Saya mempunyai kasus yg sama... apakah untuk memperbaikinya harus melepas lcd nya atau bisa tanpa melepas lcd nya?

[@concordiando]

I don't understand why your channel don't grow... because your content is very well, congratulation...

[@AerialTheShamen]

Try a centrifuge. The black spot is actually an air bubble inside the crystal liquid that can be pushed around. The polarizer rotates the light and the liquid a 2nd time to pass the 2nd polarizer. Without liquid it is only rotated once and thus black. Squeezing may break the rim seals (epoxy glue?) causing leak and worsen the damage. Because liquid is heavier than air, a centrifuge should push the bubble to the center of rotation. Hence different placement can move the bubble around without risk of breaking the seal or glass.

[@VintageDigitalWatches]

Will try a centrifuge, or at least a makeshift one to see if I get any results. The point here is that spreading it around will make it more bearable than one big blob, pushing it to the side is also an option.

[@gitmoholliday5764]

instead of a centrifuge maybe a electric power drill

[@WhatsOnMyShelf]

@@VintageDigitalWatches Did you try the centrifuge or electric drill? If you did try the drill and it worked well, do you have any advice on mounting an LCD to the drill?

[@Fedecoro1]

thanks for this video! I could fix the LCD of an old Casio F24, with a lot of patience and your advice. greetings from Argentina!

[@joecamp2779]

I want to thank you for this explanation. I love old Seiko LCDs and thanks to you I can buy them bleeding (saving money) and fix them.

[@Daud76]

Some solutions are so simple! 😁

[@Bartyron]

I just got an Epta-Optel quartz ultimatic with a huge bleeding blob in it. It is impossible to find a new old stock one, so i was actually just used to the idea that this was a scrap watch. This could turn the table however. Super Thanks!

[@cybersoul25]

Nice and very helpful video Tibi! Thanks. Glad that You bought that quite rare lcd bleeding DW1000 watch and repaired it! I've seen it on sell and thought a sec to buy it just to try such a technique described also on newdwf forum, but I really doubt that the approach may work. Glad that now You've clearly demonstrated that it may really work! Thanks again!

[@VintageDigitalWatches]

Thank you, and I cannot emphasize more on that "IT MAY WORK" as you said. I was actually really surprised it gave results, and I think lucky. And, YES, I read it on newdwf :) :). Cheers, Tibi

[@WatchGeek]

This is incredible, I wish I knew this before I tossed some of my non working digitals 😄

[@VintageDigitalWatches]

Don't stress yourself too much, it really is a hit and miss, when I have watch with this issue I usually trade it or sell it and don't even attempt the fix.

[@radius.indrawan]

wow, big thank you for sharing it! i have my father's kyoritsu clamp meter which has LCD bleed like yours too. gonna try this method and hope for the best.. 😃

[@grimmer2005]

Oh... I actually thought that was impossible to fix, cool!

[@I967]

I have a Soviet Elektronika watch with a failed seal, the display is almost completely black. We need to find a method of repairing / refilling these displays.

[@suzukigsx1807]

Impossible, the liquid can only be filled in a vacuum..

[@I967]

​@@suzukigsx1807 Could you elaborate? So it is impossible to buy a bottle of nematic liquid and pour it into the display in home conditions?

[@suzukigsx1807]

@@I967 it is to prevent any air bubbles between the 2 glass panels.. any tiny bubble will result in bleeding when viewed through the polarizer.. anyway it is impossible to get the nemantic liquid, let me know if you manage to get it..

[@ukisubki4268]

This answer to me....thank you so much

[@DouglasFCV]

How did you take off, and put again same place

[@queenday15]

Great video! Btw how do I take the lcd out of the electronics. Do you have any tutorial for that? Thanks:)

[@theartshow1476]

Wonder if this will work on a game and watch

[@suzukigsx1807]

Hello have you tried?

[@communistsupplier2848]

Just saying its an high risk for dead pixel if its phone

[@channelsixtyeight068_]

Never seen that fix before and I'm an electronics tech. Could you use a touchscreen stylus, or is there a risk of shattering the screen with too much concentrated pressure. [ I realise this video is 6 years old ]

[@emiliomarraccini9115]

Thanks !

[@jec_ecart]

Excellent..So just keep massaging it.

[@salvatoreruggeri5808]

what can be done instead if some number line is missing? thanks to all

[@kulisemok]

Pinter sekali kamu lurr...

[@hitmiccs]

Awesome! I got a Casio AX-210 yesterday which has a nasty bleed about the same size as this one. Can you comment on how the longevity of the fix is, after 3 years? I'm about to try this on the AX panel - thanks in advance!

[@VintageDigitalWatches]

The fix held up at least one year, I eventually sold the watch

[@salvatoreruggeri5808]

[@eddyboh2723]

I wonder if it works on OLED displays?

[@Max_Mustermann]

Probably not. A black spot on OLED screens usually means that the pixels are dead.

[@doootmann]

my phones doing this my whole screen is bleeding like purple blueish color it wasn't as bad earlier today buts getting worse

[@danamoose1234]

Wow shocking

[@yagmurdai7428]

Hi I was repairing my very old digitakt watch i cleaned etc it works but I cleaned the digital screen back side all numbers came back but later disapear ,I noticer when i clean with humid cotton all numbers back ,what shall I do for it ?could you give an advice pls ,Thank you

[@robine5280]

Well, isn't the stuff you pushed to the side missing somewhere else? Is this leaked out liquid cristal?

[@majedalgmaly1292]

i had thin line bleed. hiw to fixc it

[@newtubeAssassin]

Hello. I've have a rare casio gm 401 module. The pyramid game watch. With new battery some segments come on and watch has constant beep sound so have to take battery out. Can you help me. This watch never comes up on ebay. So it's extremely rare and I would love to have to fixed. Thanks

[@yxsmin_o3542]

will it eventually spread over the whole phone if it’s only small??

[@MelanionKISS]

Tengo 2 relojes casio de más de 35 años con ese problema y me da pena tirarlos a la basura. Intentaré hacer eso a ver si gay suerte. Buen vídeo.

[@originalraggaman]

Will this work on dot matrix display on dbx-100?

[@davyroscoe9911]

When I watched this video the first thing I did was check to see if it was April the first! The result was impressive even if it does only work occasionally!

[@VintageDigitalWatches]

I agree, it is a quick fix to maybe move a blob of bleed away from the center and to the side where it doesn't bother

[@itsdakku]

Would this work for the Contax g2 camera?

[@bocilgamer3491]

Mind blown 😲

Hola. Que problema puede existir cuando estando el reloj con o sin pila puesta se quedan marcados algunos dígitos en la pantalla?

[@rborissov]

not working...

[@donblade5405]

Curious does a lcd bleed eventually grow and take over screen?

[@VintageDigitalWatches]

It is not a consistent behavior on all bleeds. Some extend, some remain in one spot, etc. Certain models are known to be prone to bleeds like the Casio 951 calc. I would just avoid getting a watch thinking a bleed can be permanentley fixed.

[@donblade5405]

@@VintageDigitalWatches great info brother. Thank you

[@ЭтоДрючинский]

Can this fix bleeding on famous (for that issue too) A103 "Blue Thunder"?

How long did the LCD last

[@VintageDigitalWatches]

It is still going actually.

Thanks but, it's not very fast, i have a Game & watch Manhole (gold) and i have a very big Bleed (in totaly screen) you not have a Fast solusion ?

[@VintageDigitalWatches]

This solution is definitely Slow and it is a hit and miss at best, sorry I don't know of anything that can help with a screen bleed. Cheers, Tibi

[@ChintanPandya01]

Hi! Great video! I have the problem of some of the LCD segments not showing parts of numbers on casio ae1200, similar lcd to this one. If you know, can you pl tell me ho to fix it?

[@VintageDigitalWatches]

There are 4 failure points in this case: - The IC(Integrate Circuit - the brain of the watch) - this is highly unlikely as these are very very reliable - The copper path on the PCB from the IC to the zebra strip - if this is corroded you need to get it cleaned and check that it has no interruptions with a multi-meter - The zebra strip - it may just be a matter of cleaning if dirt/water got into the watch - The LCD - now in this case if segments don't light up, there is no fix that I know or ever heard of - you need a new one But the watch you mention is a newer model, I am surprised it gave way especially on the LCD, has it had a rough life? :) Kind regards, VDW

[@ChintanPandya01]

Okay. Thanks a lot! The watch was fine..it was I who got experimental and tried to convert it to a negative display. I guess I applied too much pressure while removing the polarizing film from the LCD. So it may be the LCD itself that is damaged. Lesson learned I guess!
