My FCC2 works very good with http://www.crystalfontz.com/product/...64B-TMI-V.html and 470 ohm resistor. FCC2 need resistor too.
Thanks for the informations in this topic.

Someone explain the benefit of this over the OLED commander you can get directly from Apex'i which is plug and play.

 

cost..... this is a 30$ mod vs the 1xx spent on getting the oled commander. how is this not better?

 

$320 oled commander.

 

whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa was i that off???????!!!!!!!!!!! well damn... that only further proves my point lol

 

What about this one?
https://www.crystalfontz.com/product...ll-yellow-oled


Would it work?

 

compare the specs with the one that was recommended and determine that for yourself... all the information you need is right there on the site.

 

Sorry but I'm not an electrican. If it were so I would not have asked. A simple yes or no would have sufficed.

 

you dont need to be an electrician to match numbers.... just capable enough to see whats different

 

The controller is another at the OLED display.

 

Hi! I just install the screen few weeks working on this.

My commander is FCC2 from 3SGTE mr2

I buy the blue screen CFAG12864B-TMI-V from crystalfontz . com

I put some nail polish to each side of pin 18, I made sure there is not contact.

I just only see the apexi logo for less than a second and see the white screen

I still don't have any resistor.

This is the video

 

I just only adjust the lcd contrast, is ready to go!

 

Will this be the same fix for the newer organic EL half controller? Btw stay away from it. Less than 2 years and the screen is having issues! not bright! Car is always parked in a shade too... if i had seen this i would've just repaired my old one. ..
I really would want to get it fixed... :/

 

Holly photophucket do you happen to still have the images that were uploaded for this thread? it looks like such a good thread. tia...

I'm an idiot ignore my post.

 

I've tried this, but can not use it because the voltage and some signals are not right.

 

The benefit is saving 300$ if you already have a commander and want to have a better display

 

I think someone asked about this earlier with no response, but my OLED screen does not work anymore, it is really dark, i'd have to really try hard to see what the display is showing. Can this fix be applied to the FCC4 ( OLED) commander?

 

My EL commander's screen went dark as well. I have a feeling this isn't uncommon. Going to work on a fix for it when I can get some other projects out of the way.

Mine was one of the very first ones for sale in the US, like around 5-6 years ago.

sweet! looks like i can reach out to you when you got the fix!

 

FYI I did some fooling around with the commander yesterday.

I have a buddy's old commander that we plan on upgrading to the newer blue screen. I also have my EL commander with a dead screen - buttons light up, but the screen stays totally dark.

Taking both apart and comparing side by side the two commanders are VERY different. Totally different circuit boards and the top circuit board with the screen is quite different and actually attached to the bottom board on the opposite side.

I bought a replacement EL screen off Ebay recently ($50) to have on hand for repairing my commander hopefully. The screen makes its connection to the top circuit board with a ribbon cable, that cable looks to be soldered on to the back side of the circuit board with hot glue over it. That joint to me seems very suspicious, I'd like to try and touch up that joint first before replacing the screen.

Attached are pictures of the insides of the EL commander and one showing the replacement screen I got by the commander.

Sweet! thanks dale! would love to repair the screen rather than replace it. didn't think OLED screens had such short lifetimes. hopefully fixing solder joint will help!

 

Bump, any luck fixing the OLED Dale?

 

Anyone have a guide for what voltage should be at each pin? I did the install and messed something up, but cannot figure out what. Installed the crystalfonts LDC linked above as well as the resistor, using FCC3 commander. Tried adjusting contrast and brightness using my other known good commander, but nothing is showing when I plug in the updated one.

Anyone want to help before I scrap this project and move on?

 

Hi from russia!
Thanks on manual!
I bought screen on ali for test White screen

now I ordered a screen from America crystalforz,I would like to see if there is a difference, I wait when I get the answer, because the delivery is very expensive
P.S.! when buying screen, be careful : Screen Black on white - all screens in driver ks0108 *B* ,
to make it work it is necessary to solder on the resistance display itself, a lot of rework.
that display that on the photo white on black above is ks0108 * A * - I did everything on , 18 pin off, and 2&3 pin resistor in my case 380 Om

 

sorry , quality foto is **** , in realy all ok, can be seen at great angles all clearly
