Polar 66 screen

[SnappySteve]

Our Polar 66 just had the screen go REALLY dark - readable, but tough for my 44 yr old eyes Anyone ever seen this? If so, how bad is Heidelberg going to eat our lunch?

Woke up fine this morning - maybe it needed a holiday? Keeping the fingers crossed ... and the wallet hidden

We have a Polar 115 emc - Screen was very dark, We were going to pop for a new screen, Then our service gut cleaned the reflectors in the monitor - now it's like new. Sometimes they move slightly and that reduces the light. Check it out - SAVE MONEY

I was going to say something Similar its possible some of the wires are damages (or something just needs cleaning) I had a problem with the LCD on our cutter, and it turned to be the connectors had been damaged, we just needed a new ribbon cable

Replace the light tube at the the top back of the screen or buy a new screen off of ebay. You can see the part number after you pull it out on the back of the screen Sharp makes most of them.

Is this easy to take apart? Ours finally just went black, so the time has come It looks like you have to remove both boards for access to the LCD.
