FYI: LCD Screen Calculator - CASIO HS-8VA / CASIO HL-4A a bit bigger LCD but it will work - 37mm x 16mm LCD Important, you must leave the glue on the LCD display. Fantastic video, thanks John vk3hjq
@@dakotabriscoe3320 NO, Just a calculator as described to make this repair. their are few other youtube video's out there as well on this too, just do a search. John vk3hjq
Excellent video; I did same process on 2007 Suzuki boulevard c50; I tried a cheap Chinese calculator and it didn’t work; 2nd try with a good old American calculator and it worked! Cheers
Legit fix! I did repaired my curled-up odometer polarized film using the top film from a Harbor Freight voltmeter I got free with a coupon. I didn't replace the back reflector film, I just peeled off the top film from the voltmeter, cut it to size, sprayed the back with some spray adhesive and stuck it on. The film did curl up when I peeled it off the old LCD glass, so I curled it the opposite way a few times until it lay flat.
On 4Runners, guys take the polarized film off and flip it over. That gives you light numbers on a dark background. I wonder if that would work on the odometer on the VTX
You know what, old LCD/LED screens use the same "polarizer film", we could probably peel one, and get 100 fix's out of it. You *could* probably just take the burnt piece off, then wear polarized sunglasses to see it :D
if you have a part number search online, I know the parts are expensive so you'll just have to find the best deal. Partzilla and Amazon is where I look
@@str8-6impala72 I actually had a Garmin Nuvi laying around so bought a mount off Amazon. I hate the location of the factory one anyway. Now it is at least on the handlebars. I put an app on my phone too, but could not see it in the daylight.
I followed this video and did this to my vtx odometer. It worked great. Thanks so much!!!!!!
that's awesome...glad to have helped

@oodsigma4482 I tried just using polarized film first. It doesn't have an electrical capacity

thx man very cool
You're welcome!
Looks like it's time to take a trip to goodwill to find a calculator
@daileydriven you can trim any size calculator screen to fit...just get you a good razor blade to remove the film and lcd ....then trim it
Genius, do have any advice for the stepper motor mine broken
buy another one
@@str8-6impala72 where can I find used one ?
cause the new one is too expensive

Good man!
thank you
Need a heat gun in any of this process?
@andrewvelasquez79 I imagine it would have helped tremendously when I peeled the LCD from the calculator. Honestly, I didn't think to use one 🤔
What about the speedo error? Mine is off 8 mph at 70, only doing 62. Is this a cable lube problem or???
I used an app on my phone to track mine...I know it drives you nuts

Did the video get taken down?
nope, it's still up 😂
Epic !! 🎉 but are we being trolled ?
@mirelio marzo...I believe so
