Quoted from Miguel351:What's your preferred method for resoldering those pins? I've got one line out, the far right one, on my TZ's DMD. It was that way when I bought it, just never really bothered me. I've been hesitant because of the glass and fears of degassing it.
Any tips/tricks?
If it has metal pins use 2-part silver epoxy (conductive).
If it has the plastic ribbon don't bother with it. You are more likely to cause more lines to go out messing with it.
Quoted from Pintoxicated:I have ground some glass away to expose the metal pin with a dremel before. 2 successes and 1 failure so far. The vertical lines are the hardest to repair. I haven't tried the conductive epoxy yet but I reckon it would be worth a shot, especially if you can expose some of the metal pin.
that's the beauty of the epoxy, no need to dremel away any glass.
