Why dont they seal LCD devices?
I've learned over the years that water destroys all LCD screens. Several
years ago, I had a pipe break in my house. Did considerable damage to the house and other stuff, but it soaked a police scanner and a AM FM radio nearby. The radio had an analog dial. I dried it well, and it worked fine. I dried the scanner too. The scanner turned on, but the LCD screen was dead. That rendered the scanner useless. Aside from that, the speaker was shot. Replacing the speaker was minor, but even if I could find a replacement LCD, I am sure it would have been costly and difficult to replace. Eventually I found an identical scanner on ebay for probably less than what a replacement LCD would have cost me. I lost a cellphone outdoors. Weeks later I found it, after several rain storms. The same with that. The LCD screen was dead. The phone appeared to work, (made sounds), but without the screen it was useless. I had a similar experience with a GPS, which got soaked. Why dont they put some silicone sealer on the edges of those LCD screens? Or something that will prevent water from getting into them? |

Most smaller LCDs are hermetically sealed. Pinched glass seals with IC style legs exiting the edges.
You seem to have a lot of bad luck with electronics. |

You didn't like the answers you got for this same question last June? You posted the same question under your "oldstuff" acronym.

Wrong. I have devices with LCD screens that are at least 20 years old that work just fine. Where did you get this "information"? Same place he gets all of his information.

Having never seen a unicorn on Fox news I always figured they pulled their info from their own asses. Maybe that explains the **** eating grin they seem to wear so often. And whenever I see a picture of Tucker Carlson he always looks like he's straining. Eric |

Unicorns will go only to virgins - quite unlikely either with Olds... or with Faux Spews. And, with that in mind, consider that Faux Spews is not an actual news organization, but an entertainment organization. They are unencumbered by any necessity as truth-bearers or tellers, as long as they continue to sell Viagra, Depends, 23 & Me, Ace Hardware and so forth. Deplorables make a safe and reliable audience, don't need any subtlety, nor any facts. And, consider the side benefit is that they get to make US Foreign Policy as a side job!
