I have seen PFC guys succesfully seperate the screen and commander buttons and would like to do the same.

I have a PFS PMS, has anybody done this unit?

Raj

 

how many solder connections are there? I have done my commander and a couple other peoples commanders. it should theoretically work. I dont know what yours looks like, but it should work.

Sean

 

Don't know. I don't want to open it up if it is a dead end street.

Deacon, do you just extend the soldered tabs with wires and run them anywhere?

Raj

 

yep...thats it.

 

What guage wire?

I know that these screens are attached to the chip with wide, flat tabs...so do I need a heavy guage wire the solder to them?

Raj

 

I took mine apart to do just that, However the problem is that our screen is soldered to like 20 connectors to the board. No wires or anything. I think it could be done, but You better atempt this with a spare keypad.

Amel

 

That is how they are all hooked up, right? They have about 20 tabs connecting the screen to the main chip. These must be cut and and reconnected with long wire, but


what guage wire? Any guage?

Raj

 

I don't know. I don't think it matters. Just use like 18 gauge i guess.

Amel

 

No guessing!

Anyone?
