11. Remove glass LCD and silicon strips from the
metal housing and put to one side so as to not
confuse it with your new LCD.
13. Get your new LCD and silicon strips and place them
into the metal housing the way the old screen was
removed. You will see a small bubble of glass on the
long edge of the screen, this lines up with the hole
in the metal housing. ***DO NOT FORGET to
remove the protective plastic film on the LCD.
15. Use the isopropyl alcohol swab provided to clean
these 2 sets of carbon contacts on the pcb.
WAIT FOR IT TO DRY before attaching the pcb.
17. Put the 2x screws back in.
If the display is not displaying correctly, check that all the pins are in the right spot where the LCD assembly
is connected to main body of the radio and you have it the correct way up. If that all looks ok, you will have
to repeat steps 8 to 17 and try again.

12. Get your new LCD kit opened and ready.
Did you clean your hands? You need clean
hands for this part. If you get fingerprints or
grime on the silicon strips or LCD contact
points you will have issues after you have
re-assembled it and will have to do it again.
14. Carefully re-instert the metal housing tabs back
into the plastic LCD holder. This will be fiddly
if the metal tabs are not straight.
16. Check that the rubber keypad is up the correct
way, then mount the pcb onto the plastic housing
making sure all the metal tabs come through and
snap tightly onto the pcb holding it in place.
Everything should fit back snugly.
18. Re-mount the LCD assembly to the radio body,
make sure all the pins line up on the connector.
Connect power to your radio and check that
the screen is working, all the segments are ok
and the back light is illuminated.
