Siemens Gigaset 2420 Display problem
Hi Gang,
I've got a Siemens Gigaset 2420 phone and the LCD display is missing segments. It looks like a jigsaw puzzle trying to read it. Otherwise, the phone works fine. I love the phone and want to keep it. I know if could be a display driver, or the display itself. I am willing to buy a new display if someone could clue me in to who I can turn to for parts. I beleive Siemens has discontinued these phones for a newer model, and I'm not sure they would be willing to sell me the part even if they did have it. I think Sohnen is doing repairs, but they won't sell parts. Anyone know how to get a replacement display for these phones? Also, I took the phone apart to see if contact pressure around the display would resolve the issue since I have seen many LCD display connection problems, but that seemed ok. Why is it that LCD displays always seem to be attached with an adhesive type ribbon cable? Is there a law against soldering these things or what?? Any help would be appreciated. I would also be willing to buy a parts phone if someone has one. Thanks, Mike |

Siemens Gigaset 2420 Display problem
If I mange to find another display for this phone, any idea
on how to properly remove the existing ribbon cable from the circuit board and replace it with the new display? All I can say is that it appears to be glued to the board in some manner. I have seen this on many other LCD displays, so I think it is a standard. I just don't have any experience in dealing with this. Thanks in advance for any help.
