was waiting for one of these
what the hell could be causing my 95lx display to bug out like this?

it's really intermittent and seems like a physical connection problem but I don't know anymore, it's almost like whatever controls the contrast for this one line is fucked or something, I stuck it in the door pocket in my car for a while and the vibrations must have rattled it back into place but while I was typing up a memo this morning it appeared again

apparently it's a really common problem on the 95lx but there's literally nothing about it, all I've ever seen is like one page on the palmtop paper that mentions it but just tells you to send it into HP for the cost of a nice 200LX on ebay, so fuck that

are there any good resources on autism-level repair for these kinds of monochrome displays or are they pretty much just the same as any other regular color/backlit LCD under the hood?

Indeed, have fun!

That shit looks apocalypse-ready.

Wouldn't older hardware be better for that kind of scenario anyway since the older processes are supposedly more radiation-resistant and surface-mounted components are still easy enough to replace without special tools? I've always wondered, but never found an opportunity to bring it up on here.

>>56967146
Mostly yes, the size of the components and higher power usages makes them more robust in general.

You always say I'm trolling you when I post RETRO VINTAGE OEM and here we are.

Yes. Plus in general a higher built quality

yes senior android dev. all this is the same for ios too.

meanwhile your apartment is starting to smell with your trash trove and you insist that any phone after 2008 is for zombies and pretending to be a "flip feature phone history expert" or whatever the fuck.
