G-Shock Quick Fix #1: Burnt LCD background

A new series I just came up with while in isolation. LOL
The point here is to find an quick and easy solution for common issues related with G-Shock. Especially from the vintage category.
Here is an example of a burnt up lcd background. Noted that, this is not polariser related issue. Just a thin layer behind that lcd panel that give color hue to the display and in this case also helps with the contrast since it seems to have a reflective properties to it.
This issue usually occur after long abuse under direct sunlight. My guess, the glue that sticks the thin layer to the lcd starts to flake after years of receiving sunlight.
Anyway, about the scratch marks. That could be prevented if you really take your time with the by being gentle. Also if that really concern you, just remove the back polariser layer and replace that to a new one.
This could happen to any digital G-Shock with background color accents. It is just a matter of time.
Share your thoughts and idea in the comment section and maybe I’ll feature them in future video.
Now time for some online shopping:
1. Premium solar waveceptor:
2. Cheaper alternative:
3. Same but not the same:
4. Totally different but popular:
5. Something tough:
Thanks for watching guys.
Cheers!

[@marcwong0282]

Great video ❤ you mentioned about not rubbing off the polarizer, is it part of the silver sheet? Or a separate layer at the back of the screen?

[@basicforge]

The polarizer must still be there because LCD screens don't work without them.

[@ayunkbae2844]

thank's bro....nice work..

[@Wit_Old_G]

Hello, it is not enough tear glue. It need new one-way mirror foil in the background. Then You have full reflective

[@gshockhighfashion]

Hi i want to ask why my schok no LED light

[@gshockhighfashion]

Check the led connection on the circuit board

[@pssgromerokeyzargabisan1076]

What do u called that foil u replace?

[@andytong2]

hi, will this work on prg250?

[@pssgromerokeyzargabisan1076]

Whats the degree you use? 0/90 degree or 45/135 degree? Waiting for your answer 😄 any suggestions what to use?

[@gshockhighfashion]

I normally just eyeball it to whichever angle that create the clearest display.

[@abeerkharka5294]

Will Casio fix this issue if we send them our watch

[@gshockhighfashion]

They will, if they still have the parts. Doing this ourselves is way cheaper & faster.

[@receperpin9222]

What is the next step after cleaning the glass? How did you do it?

[@Fahdlevi]

Are same to fix lcd protrek prg ?

[@gshockhighfashion]

Casio usually made them the same way. Give it a try.

[@speedygonzales9993]

Ha ha, the LCD panel on my Made in China Hewlett Packard scientific calculator HP 35S has this problem. And it uses non-rechargeable CR2032 batteries.

[@gshockhighfashion]

Seems like this solution is applicable everywhere. Noice!

[@leewmlee]

Was it difficult to open up the HP35S to access the LCD panel? My experience with these panels is once the rubber contact strips are removed from the LCD glass, I will get missing segments. With an old Casio calculator which doesn't have backlight, I put a strip of aluminium foil as a reflective surface, held in place by tiny tape at the edges. This method won't work with Casio watches as aluminium foil is opaque unless it is illuminated by LEDs at the side.

Bhai mery watch g shock me half time aata hai please issues ko thiek karnay ki video bana

[@gshockhighfashion]

Need more details on the issue

[@willybatford3239]

What kinda glue you use?

[@gshockhighfashion]

Not any glue. I just leave it as it is and install it back plain like that.

[@muhammadhashaam7433]

Hi friends

[@ciensuk]

Nice work, anyway can I re-use that sticker again? (If yes) what kind of glue you suggest?

[@ironwaste3704]

You can buy aftermarket background sticker or chromatic plate. The plate compatible for all digital gshock

[@ciensuk]

@@ironwaste3704 Thanks for this info

[@anzirprasetia7186]

what about this background name?

[@gshockhighfashion]

Just a piece of sticker to add color to the display.
Any type of thin paper or transparent plastic could be used as replacement.

[@odongodong9013]

[@maverickwatchreviews]

...or you could just buy another G-Shock and be good for another 10 years.

[@gshockhighfashion]

if it actually lasted 10 years 😅

[@maverickwatchreviews]

@@gshockhighfashion True...it just seems like a lot of work for a very cheap, easily replaceable watch.

[@judie9853]

I wanna know what cause this

[@gshockhighfashion]

My guess, long exposure to direct heat from sunlight
