Unfortunately, the only handy source for LCD screens
for
pocket/palmtops is
another palmtop (i.e., one that is broken in some other way.
The screens
generally were custom ordered, and are not found on the
surplus market. This
is certainly the case for the HP LX palmtops. Thaddeus
Computing, the main
repair center in the US for the LX, cannibalizes broken units
for parts to
fix ones sent to them for repairs.
Well, I was hoping I would get lucky with this one, since it's
more like a scientific calculator than a computer. It's a
very long (for a calculator) dot matrix lcd. One single line,
or maybe two, of good characters, at a relatively low resolution.
