Voyager Lamp Screen Burn

Post by chesterlampwick » Thu Jun 29, 2017 12:09 am

I have a Voyager select with the backlit panel, but in an effort to preserve the life of the panel lighting, I use the gooseneck lamp in dark environments occasionally. I apparently, stupidly, left the lamp shining on the screen for too long the other night, and now when I turn on the Voyager I have a darkened smudge over several pixels where the lamp was shining.

Is there any way to fix this? Or will it go away eventually? Or would I have to have the screen replaced?

It doesn't make the screen unreadable or affect the performance in any way -- it's just an unsightly distraction on an otherwise perfect instrument. Wondering if anyone else has run into this and what it would take to remedy. I tried searching for solutions online before posting. Welcoming any ideas, or just posting as a warning to other users with the lamp attachment.

Thanks

interesting, I had to boost the contrast on my voyager, to get rid of a dark square that appeared eventually over the entire display

it is gone now, but I assume it is just due to age?

It would be good to know how complicated it is, to replace the screen on these


good luck!!
