After the repair Before the repair

What came in

A DMG-01 that had spent years with batteries left inside. The contacts were green, and the screen had lost most of its vertical lines.

What we did

  • Replaced the battery contacts and cleaned the corrosion from the board
  • Installed an IPS screen kit with brightness control
  • Moved the board into a new shell, keeping the original serial label

The original screen and shell went back to the owner in a bag.
