Hi all,
I have a Fish-Finder with a 4"
x 5" approx. LCD screen which has vertical stripes (no image) at
various points across it.I am not very familiar with this technology,
I know it has a (square waves?) drive and dedicated ic's for
display.the housing was gas filled (not anymore).Would these missing
bands be caused by bad contact 'tween the rubber connecting pads on
the screen / pcb interface? shame really as the instrument works fine
other than the display.
Thank you for reading this.


Very possible

It's called a zebra connector

Try cleaning the zebra and display contacts with alcohal. Do not handle the
contact areas, they must remain clean.
