Commander LCD replacement service
#76
Sorry to revive and hijack the thread
Wanted to update regarding OLED repair..
@Str3atWarrior aka #michael_gagne doesn't do OLED repair anymore, I've asked recently...
I am pretty sure you already figured out your issue with SST39 flash memory since you and john made a new conversion board that works.
I was able to replace mine using SST39 flash and it works perfectly and i think its the easiest way, just program and solder it in, no custom board needed.
It is definitely a tedious work and requires soldering skills and programmer for the flash chip.
All details are here:

PS, a bit of rant.. i think it makes you look bad for not sharing your design or at least how you did it. Some hobbyists like me just like to do it ourselves even if we can afford the service, or maybe we just don't feel comfortable shipping.. Folks with necessary skills will figure this out anyways (as i did) and the ones without will look for someone to do it for them whether they know how its done or not. Just my 2cents... /rant.
I haven't considered offering the service but more than happy to help a fellow car enthusiast out

@SAM-I-AM I can vouch for @brainhouston above. He programmed and sent me a chip about a year ago. He also helped confirm all the other details (which screen to buy, etc.). Coordinating with him was a breeze. As far as me replacing it...I cannot say...I have yet to actually perform the surgery, even a year later, as stuff just keeps popping up, but it is on my shortlist! And I will be sure to share the results (don't hold your breath though...maybe 2024
