Yaesu FT 857 LCD rebuild using after market LCD

[@wonderingworld119]

Really good going there, I would be well happy with that result. I don't see the bottom line missing being a problem really when you compare the before and after.

[@BobBob-il2ku]

Would love a video showing us how to DIY the soldering of the LCD but I know this is your business so I understand if that’s not possible. Also a link for the business you’re using to source the LCD again I understand if that’s not possible.

Great job Andy! 73 de SQ3AK!

I had mine repaired about 5 years ago by Yaesu. This is such a wide known problem it should have been fixed for free.

[@Subgunman]

Free? Not a Japanese way of business. These radios are now up to 25+ years old. Having them installed in hot cars will shorten the life of the contacts.

[@n1kkri]

@@Subgunman It was a poor design for the contacts on the LCD.

[@dougmyers8767]

How can I contact you, Andy? I bought the display replacement but not sure if I have the tools or the ability to do the work. Arthritis in my right hand has flared up.

[@giossico]

hello I'm Giorgio, where can you buy these spare parts? in Italy no one repairs ft-857 anymore. Thanks

[@robwoodwe5495]

It looks like you have a line at the top of the display that isn't being used. Just bump up the display a line.... if only..... Good video !!

[@anonymous_friend]

[@ragheadand420roll]

[@jsmalone]

Can you do this to a FT-897D?

[@leofahmie1378]

Andy, Do you still repair the LCD Assembly for the FT-857? I would like to get mine repaired please.....73

[@jessgypin-ko5ds]

OMG the crud on the screen!

[@petergreenei2iu962]

Do you sell a refurbished panel to fit oneself thanks

[@TonyYork-KB9RAO]

Do you do this repair on kenwoods? For example the TMV7a.

[@KC5TGTRadiosNMore]

Do you also work on Icom IC-706 MkIIg? No display issues, I think it’s finals. Down on TX power… And if so how do I contact you?

[@leofahmie1378]

Andy, What generic LCD did you buy? I want to purchase one. Could you please give me the URL or company you purchased it from. Also how much was the LCD? Thank You........73, Leo

[@swichannel8114]

Were shop i want buy this parts

[@Subgunman]

I would think Yaesu should get on the ball and start making these displays or they should release technical specs to another manufacturer. All of us who have these radios with this problem swamp Yaesu with emails to get them off of their butts and get more displays made. This radio should not be obsoleted for this stupid issue.

[@dougmyers8767]

I just bought an aftermarket board because Yaesu said they no longer have the parts. That's for my 857D. My 897 has one stripe now.

[@Subgunman]

Where did you buy the part from? Was it only the LCD or full board?
