My friend Roarke generously sent me an awesome gift in the last mailbox. This game & watch is one of the multi-screen series and unfortunately has the common but dreaded burnt polarizer on both screens. In this video I attempt to replace the affected layers with parts I have on hand. Let's explore the construction of the LCD layers while we experiment with polarizing filters and rear reflective materials.

Thanks for posting this video. I just picked up the Green House Game & Watch, and the top screen has the elliptical burn in as well. Looking for a replacement solution. This video helped!

Lol youtube recommended me this video now. Anyways, I had a Fire G&W I bought that was in pretty iffy shape like this, and I bought a replacement back reflector on Ebay and it made the image pop out twice as much as before. There's a lot of repair kits on Ebay for G&W stuff.

I had to do this exact restoration on a Squish G&W that I acquired last year. But I found that if I only worked one side at a time, it wasn't necessary to disconnect the speaker wires at all.

I saw some site selling replacement ribbon cables awhile ago. I think it was on ebay and it should be more than $5-10. If you ever track down a replacement you should totally make a repair video!

Yeah I come across tons of cheap broken lcds so I use a hairdryer to carefully peel the polarizing filters off for future use and you can imagine how many small lcds a 15-20" computer screen could fix.

Flip the reflective layer around ( polarizer part to the back ) and put a polarizer on top
@sjm4306
@sjm4306 7 лет назад
I need to figure out how to flatten them first since they are curling up at the edges. Maybe a clothes iron on very low heat would work?
@ChrisMX9

sjm4306 just rotate them I think they will be flattened by the LCD anyways

Hello SJM! Your vids are phenomenal, thank you! I had a mickey and donald that had this problem, and fixed it, but I was expecting you to also mention the faceplate reattachment over the buttons, as one of mine fell off much like yours! What would you use to re-attach a loose button plate? Thank you in advance for your helpful response 🙏🏻
@sjm4306
@sjm4306 2 года назад
Thin double sided tape would probably work, but some fast dry spray/liquid adhesive (like used in scrapbooking or even thinly applied contact cement) would probably last longer term.

Hi sjm4306 I saw both of your game and watch repair videos and am really in awe in your knowledge of these technical electronic stuff. I mean in the octopus video by just looking at the motherboard you already know what kind of board it is and brought back a g&w from the grave with with only one wire, which is truly incredible ! I'm trying to fix up a g&w as well but am unsure what's a good replacement for the reflector,could aluminium foil do ?
@sjm4306
@sjm4306 7 лет назад
Hi Ben, thanks for the compliment but my skills really aren't as impressive as you say. With all things intuition, experience, and luck are the deciding factors and there are plenty of times where I can't fix stuff. Anyway, as for the replacing the reflector with aluminum foil, yes it would work but there are a few things you need to be careful about. Since the exposed chip and traces are directly behind the lcd I would advise mounting the foil on a piece of stiff thin plastic/cardboard to prevent anything shorting. It should be easy to use some adhesive to glue the foil so that there are no wrinkles since they will be visible from the front of the lcd. Another idea I wanted to try is spray the back of a thin sheet of plastic/glass with silver/mirrored spray paint and see if that would work well. I may have to take a trip to the local art store to see what reflective materials they have.

Good video. Thank you. Do you happen to know a fox for my game and watch. I put 2 batteries in and it only works when I really push them down? I wonder if I could be using the wrong battery size? Many thanks
@sjm4306
@sjm4306 5 лет назад
Either the metal battery contacts could use a good clean, the solder joints connecting the contacts to the pcb need to be resoldered, or the contacts need to be bent a little to firmly touch the batteries.

Potato1x That would be awesome. The only problem would be Roarke lives on the west coast of the US, I 'm on the east coast, and Elliot from the retro future is in the uk. Elliot and I have talked about him coming to visit and do some collab videos here in the US so that may happen sometime in the future.

Thanks for the video. It inspired me to try to clean mine up. Sorry if I missed it, but when you put white paper, did you put a filter on it as well? I've tried using the back silver thin metal from an LCD casing and it looks good but it looks a bit faint... I'm wondering if it's because I didn't put in a filter.
@sjm4306
@sjm4306 6 лет назад
juan julio Yes, in addition to the white paper I had to put a rear polarizer otherwise the LCD wouldn't display anything. The original reflector has the polarizing filter laminated on top so they appear as one layer.
@macguy9152
@macguy9152 6 лет назад
Gotcha. I have something visible, but it's faint. I've just ripped up the polazier from my LCD. How do I determine direction before taking apart to make sure it works? I am assuming I just use a piece of the polarizer from the front correct?
@sjm4306
@sjm4306 6 лет назад
For getting the direction of polarizing filters right, just put in on the screen and rotate until you can see through the glass and it will be correct. There are a few ways to remove adhesives/glue, I like isopropyl alcohol as it slightly dissolves and weakens the glue and leaves no residue. I've also heard wd-40 works great as well but it can be messy and possibly damage some plastics.
@macguy9152
@macguy9152 6 лет назад
Thanks for your help. Miraculously, I got it working again! It's a lot better than it was. The only real challenge I had was removing the residue. I tried soaking in warm water, the polarizing film pealed off, tried with rubbing alcohol, it got all murky... Finally, I got two pieces to stick on the NEW reflector that I cut out from an old mac LCD. There are air bubbles, but like I said the overall thing is pretty amazing. You may want to try the thin metal reflector vs your white paper. I think that the LCD was too old (old mac G4) so the glue was impossible to remove. If I can find a non-sticky polarizing sheet cheap somewhere, I'll try again. Thanks again! Here's the before/after: imgur.com/fIWrNFa imgur.com/uAljoQt

The filter I replaced is a linear polarizer. You can find them pretty easily online sold to repair LCD screens. It's very common in old devices with LCDs for the polarizing filter to darken/look burnt and the image to appear very dim/low contrast.

Cupcake カップケーキ If it has black splotches that aren't on the polarizing filter itself then that's the liquid crystal leaking and as far as I know it is irreparable.

on of the thirteen united States of America hen in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. - That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, - That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. - Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury:For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences:For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these ColoniesFor taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. - And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor
