Need to replace your R1/R3 screen?
I whipped this up in like an hour. I wanted a quick and easy tutorial for replacing the screen on my radar detector without someone rambling on. I didn’t want to wait for Uniden to fix it so I sourced the screen and hopefully fixed the issue with the supplier not shipping to different addresses. I can confirm it is still working great. Color is slightly lighter than original ones, but it is also cheaper to fix this way.
This is a relatively easy fix. Just need a Phillips screw driver, a soldering iron, and basic soldering skills. It’s been a while but I believe the only soldering was for the 6 spots on the screen bracket. The ribbon cable just goes right into the connector. Just be very careful of the speaker connector. Mine is nearly 10 years old and crumbled so I just soldered the speaker wires to the pads on the board.
I’d be happy to answer any questions that I am capable of answering. I am not a pro, I just like to fix stuff.
