Need to replace your R1/R3 screen?

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.

If your SUV was backed into last night at Santuccis…

I have the persons license plate number. They were gonna drive off until the driver noticed I took a picture. Then her boyfriend/husband got in my face and tried to start a fight because I called them out. I have reason to believe the driver was drinking as well, but I doubt police got involved.

If you want the plate number just pm me.

First make. Pretty pleased with it so far!

Bought all the stuff off Ali. Genuine Japanese NH35A. I bought a handful of various dials, hands and bezels before settling with this. I also have a case with a clear back, but I’m waiting for new stems to arrive because the one for this case is too short. I really can’t afford any more hobbies, but I guess this one can stay.

D-bag owner/worker at shirt store

I believe it was this store, and I assume he owns more. I just wanted to vent about his absurd behavior.

My wife, son, and I were walking around and decided to see if there were any sweatshirts she liked. The guy came over and asked what size, we replied “not sure, just trying some on”. He mumbled something and went back to his phone. Not even 5 minutes later he comes back, asks again. I respond, “still trying to figure out what shirt and size”. He rudely says “if you listened to me before I could have told you where the sizes were”.

Ok then, we say screw it and leave, he’s clearly an asshole. As we leave he is literally staring at his phone and says “not gonna buy anything? Woooooow”. We ignored him and went to the next store. He quickly comes up behind and says “just so you know, all these shirts are the same here”. I snapped and told him if he wasn’t such an asshole we would have bought an overpriced shirt. He was so mad he started calling me a dick among other things in front of my kid and before storming off tells us we supposedly didn’t put shirts back where they belong…

Is this really the type of people running the stores in town? Why does the town allow so many of the same exact stores to be open like that? How many crappy non LG related souvenir shops do they need? Don’t forget about the multiple DILLIGAF places. I always thought it was a kid friendly place but then you have souvenir shops like that? I get most tourist places are the same or worse, but this interaction had me boiling.

Looking for replacement watch dial

I’m new to repairing these rep watches. I found this in an abandoned house and it’s one of my favorite watches. Only problem is the “pepetual” instead of perpetual. Does anyone know of a place to get new rep dials from? Even if I have to glue the diamonds on the new one, I’m ok with that.

Going to Canada, wanna take bets on whether I get back in?

I have been talking all sorts of shit about the administration of this shit hole country(USA), and my phone is full of anti government memes. Wish me luck brothers!
