I own a Sharp PC-1251. Untill a few Years ago it was in full working condition, then the LCD deceased.
Ist there any chance to replace or repair this with moderate efforts?
I miss my BASIC-spaghetti-code and the micro-cassette drive for storage ,
There’s a guy that makes replacement LCDs for these: https://www.tindie.com/products/halfbakedmaker/lcd-replacement-for-trs-80-pc-3-sharp-pc-125x/
This guy is awesome. Bought a LCD and replaced it.
The machine is back to life …
Thank you. I check this out …
Might also be worth popping the lcd off of the “zebra strips” (the stripey rubber bits it sits on) and giving them and the LCD contact side a clean with some alcohol.
Check out Jeff Birt on YouTube. The guy is a pro at repairing these.
A quick sniff around the interwebs found this tindie listing

That’s assuming it’s the LCD panel itself that’s died and not something to do with actually driving the display.
