Thanks, Dan. I have a York rowing machine. The screen has been gradually fading until it was no longer readable. I tried to get a replacement, but the best I was offered was a replacement machine, which would cost me around A$750. I applied your techniques, and it now works like new. It wasn't hard, but I took your advice to note everything carefully as I was pulling it apart. I used computer cleaner rather than alcohol for the cleaning, but the alcohol you suggested would probably have worked just as well.

Thank you!!! It was really helpful! I had a second hand stepping machine, and the step counter lcd didn't show the numbers correctly, I had it almost half a year now and planed to buy a separate step counter, because it was quite uncomfortable to carry around my phone just to count my steps. Now it works again!!! Thanks for saving me the money and to teaching us such a usefull skill!:D

Thank you kindly! Watched this an hour or so ago, and then went and took the bathroom scales apart ... success. My readout is back. Woohoo.

This video was very helpful, my LCD clock in the kitchen was not properly displaying the date. All I had to do was take the back off and tighten up some of the screws inside and now it works perfectly, I didn't even have to take it apart any further to clean any of the contacts. Thank you sir.

Brilliant! Thank you, Dan, for teaching us how to restore the display on a digital clock. Your step-by-step descriptions were outstanding. Very thoughtful of you to adjust our view so that each image was clearly visible. The world needs more educators like you!

Thanks for posting this! The LCD on my OXO Digital kitchen scale was having the same issue, and your fix worked for me too! You helped me save money and prevent electrical waste! 🙌

Thank you! I fixed my treadmill console following your video. It's working now!

Thank you for this very clear video. Many would just toss the clock and buy a new one, but this video is really educational- I am trying to fix the LCD screen of my BMW instrument cluster (over $1000 with issues of mileage transfer codes). So ideally I’d want to fix it and not replace the whole cluster. This gives me the confidence to open it up and give it a good try!

I had to fix the display on a volt/ohm meter that I used your guide to clean the contacts but I was missing some of the characters and found that it needed more pressure which I fixed by adding a spacer between the plastic back and the board right behind the display.
I'd add small thin washers on yours at each screw to spread out the pressure on the board for a more consistent and constant contact on the board and the glass connector.
Thank YOU!

With this video took all of a minute for me to fix the display of my small digital cooking thermometer. Thanks!

Thank you, Using the steps in this video I was able to fix a faded screen on a new scale I just bought ( lost receipt). The cobra strip became disconnected upon display removal. I just lined it back up and placed display glass back on; then applied slight pressure while screwing back in place. Works perfectly!

I like the thoughtful way that he goes through this and picked up some useful tips along the way, like putting a towel under where you are working to catch screws. :)

Thanks for explaining things so clearly and patiently.

Thank you so much! This finally taught me how to fix those LCD displays with a conductive pad!

I'm going to now attempt to fix my old casio liquid crystal watch from 1982. Thanks so much for this video.

[SeptemberPick]

Thanks for your video. Fixed an old, but expensive multimeter with a LCD display problem. I was about to trash it, but your video saved it.
