Repairing Ash’s Megan

A short post from me, for once

@Ash ‘s Raceboard was in his trunk when he was unfortunately rear-ended, leading to his Megan getting damaged

Looks like it just needed a screen replacement, so I was hopefully that I could revive the unit.

I disassembled it…

And cut apart the foam holding the screen to the PCB

hoping to find a connector, but with greeted with solder.

Nbd though.

Using the part number of the back of the screen, I was able to find an exact replacement screen on aliexpress for the price of an overpriced LA coffee.


A week later it arrived. I de-soldered the old screen’s ribbon cable

With no PCB damage!

Solder the new one on…

Plug it into Ankle Wreacher, and it works :fire: :fire:

Create a custom sticky gasket thing with tissue tape, to hold the screen/pcb

An lastly, the most important part

Not often does a repair go 100% to plan. Woot.
