I fixed a AX-210 LCD with this technique, it looks like new now - that's so amazing, it opens so many new possibilities to rescue some rare and often broken digitals. Thanks a lot, again, for showing this!
Nice and very helpful video Tibi! Thanks. Glad that You bought that quite rare lcd bleeding DW1000 watch and repaired it! I've seen it on sell and thought a sec to buy it just to try such a technique described also on newdwf forum, but I really doubt that the approach may work. Glad that now You've clearly demonstrated that it may really work! Thanks again!
Thank you, and I cannot emphasize more on that "IT MAY WORK" as you said. I was actually really surprised it gave results, and I think lucky. And, YES, I read it on newdwf :) :). Cheers, Tibi
wow, big thank you for sharing it! i have my father's kyoritsu clamp meter which has LCD bleed like yours too. gonna try this method and hope for the best.. 😃
Don't stress yourself too much, it really is a hit and miss, when I have watch with this issue I usually trade it or sell it and don't even attempt the fix.
I just got an Epta-Optel quartz ultimatic with a huge bleeding blob in it. It is impossible to find a new old stock one, so i was actually just used to the idea that this was a scrap watch. This could turn the table however. Super Thanks!
Try a centrifuge. The black spot is actually an air bubble inside the crystal liquid that can be pushed around. The polarizer rotates the light and the liquid a 2nd time to pass the 2nd polarizer. Without liquid it is only rotated once and thus black. Squeezing may break the rim seals (epoxy glue?) causing leak and worsen the damage. Because liquid is heavier than air, a centrifuge should push the bubble to the center of rotation. Hence different placement can move the bubble around without risk of breaking the seal or glass.
Will try a centrifuge, or at least a makeshift one to see if I get any results. The point here is that spreading it around will make it more bearable than one big blob, pushing it to the side is also an option.
@@VintageDigitalWatches Did you try the centrifuge or electric drill? If you did try the drill and it worked well, do you have any advice on mounting an LCD to the drill?
Hi I was repairing my very old digitakt watch i cleaned etc it works but I cleaned the digital screen back side all numbers came back but later disapear ,I noticer when i clean with humid cotton all numbers back ,what shall I do for it ?could you give an advice pls ,Thank you
Awesome! I got a Casio AX-210 yesterday which has a nasty bleed about the same size as this one. Can you comment on how the longevity of the fix is, after 3 years? I'm about to try this on the AX panel - thanks in advance!
Hello. I've have a rare casio gm 401 module. The pyramid game watch. With new battery some segments come on and watch has constant beep sound so have to take battery out. Can you help me. This watch never comes up on ebay. So it's extremely rare and I would love to have to fixed. Thanks
I have a Soviet Elektronika watch with a failed seal, the display is almost completely black. We need to find a method of repairing / refilling these displays.
@@I967 it is to prevent any air bubbles between the 2 glass panels.. any tiny bubble will result in bleeding when viewed through the polarizer.. anyway it is impossible to get the nemantic liquid, let me know if you manage to get it..
Never seen that fix before and I'm an electronics tech. Could you use a touchscreen stylus, or is there a risk of shattering the screen with too much concentrated pressure. [ I realise this video is 6 years old ]
Hi! Great video! I have the problem of some of the LCD segments not showing parts of numbers on casio ae1200, similar lcd to this one. If you know, can you pl tell me ho to fix it?
There are 4 failure points in this case: - The IC(Integrate Circuit - the brain of the watch) - this is highly unlikely as these are very very reliable - The copper path on the PCB from the IC to the zebra strip - if this is corroded you need to get it cleaned and check that it has no interruptions with a multi-meter - The zebra strip - it may just be a matter of cleaning if dirt/water got into the watch - The LCD - now in this case if segments don't light up, there is no fix that I know or ever heard of - you need a new one But the watch you mention is a newer model, I am surprised it gave way especially on the LCD, has it had a rough life? :) Kind regards, VDW
Okay. Thanks a lot! The watch was fine..it was I who got experimental and tried to convert it to a negative display. I guess I applied too much pressure while removing the polarizing film from the LCD. So it may be the LCD itself that is damaged. Lesson learned I guess!
When I watched this video the first thing I did was check to see if it was April the first! The result was impressive even if it does only work occasionally!
It is not a consistent behavior on all bleeds. Some extend, some remain in one spot, etc. Certain models are known to be prone to bleeds like the Casio 951 calc. I would just avoid getting a watch thinking a bleed can be permanentley fixed.

Saya mempunyai kasus yg sama... apakah untuk memperbaikinya harus melepas lcd nya atau bisa tanpa melepas lcd nya?
I don't understand why your channel don't grow... because your content is very well, congratulation...
thanks for this video! I could fix the LCD of an old Casio F24, with a lot of patience and your advice. greetings from Argentina!

I want to thank you for this explanation.
I love old Seiko LCDs and thanks to you I can buy them bleeding (saving money) and fix them.

Some solutions are so simple! 😁
This is incredible, I wish I knew this before I tossed some of my non working digitals 😄

instead of a centrifuge maybe a electric power drill

This answer to me....thank you so much
Thankyou so much, i have Casio Gm 40 same problem, Super video Bro
Oh... I actually thought that was impossible to fix, cool!
Great video! Btw how do I take the lcd out of the electronics. Do you have any tutorial for that? Thanks:)
Excellent..So just keep massaging it.

Would this work for the Contax g2 camera?
Can I do this for my phone?

The fix held up at least one year, I eventually sold the watch
what can be done instead if some number line is missing? thanks to all
it is perfect

Hi Shane, write to me at vintagedigitalwatches@gmail.com
How did you take off, and put again same place
I have a Soviet Elektronika watch with a failed seal, the display is almost completely black. We need to find a method of repairing / refilling these displays.
Impossible, the liquid can only be filled in a vacuum..
@@suzukigsx1807 Could you elaborate? So it is impossible to buy a bottle of nematic liquid and pour it into the display in home conditions?
@@I967 it is to prevent any air bubbles between the 2 glass panels.. any tiny bubble will result in bleeding when viewed through the polarizer.. anyway it is impossible to get the nemantic liquid, let me know if you manage to get it..
will it eventually spread over the whole phone if it’s only small??
i had thin line bleed. hiw to fixc it
Will this work on dot matrix display on dbx-100?
Well, isn't the stuff you pushed to the side missing somewhere else? Is this leaked out liquid cristal?
Great 👍
Hello. Can you help? I am looking for such a back film. Can you help me where I can find it? Thanks.
hi do this work with a full bleed ??
Just saying its an high risk for dead pixel if its phone
my phones doing this my whole screen is bleeding like purple blueish color it wasn't as bad earlier today buts getting worse
I have a ninetendo game and watch. Maybe i can replace the screens?
Can this fix bleeding on famous (for that issue too) A103 "Blue Thunder"?
Any LCD

well, this is something i didn't know, thanks!
Yeah but with 50 50 chances and likelyhoof for it to come back.
@@VintageDigitalWatches better than zero 😂
Salut. Foarte fain filmuletul, multumim !
Cum se poate lua legatura cu tine pentru niste reparatii?
Yo Yi Salut, din pacate timpul nu imi mai permite.
Wonder if this will work on a game and watch
Hello have you tried?
Pinter sekali kamu lurr...
I wonder if it works on OLED displays?
Probably not. A black spot on OLED screens usually means that the pixels are dead.
hi did you think it works with a lcd nintendo game and watch ?
It will work on any LCD display but hit and miss.
How long did the LCD last
It is still going actually.

There are 4 failure points in this case:
- The IC(Integrate Circuit - the brain of the watch) - this is highly unlikely as these are very very reliable
- The copper path on the PCB from the IC to the zebra strip - if this is corroded you need to get it cleaned and check that it has no interruptions with a multi-meter
- The zebra strip - it may just be a matter of cleaning if dirt/water got into the watch
- The LCD - now in this case if segments don't light up, there is no fix that I know or ever heard of - you need a new one
But the watch you mention is a newer model, I am surprised it gave way especially on the LCD, has it had a rough life? :)

I agree, it is a quick fix to maybe move a blob of bleed away from the center and to the side where it doesn't bother
Hi from Berlin, can you fix my blue thunder? Do you accept orders?

Curious does a lcd bleed eventually grow and take over screen?
It is not a consistent behavior on all bleeds. Some extend, some remain in one spot, etc. Certain models are known to be prone to bleeds like the Casio 951 calc. I would just avoid getting a watch thinking a bleed can be permanentley fixed.
@@VintageDigitalWatches great info brother. Thank you
Hola. Que problema puede existir cuando estando el reloj con o sin pila puesta se quedan marcados algunos dígitos en la pantalla?
not working...
👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
Tengo 2 relojes casio de más de 35 años con ese problema y me da pena tirarlos a la basura. Intentaré hacer eso a ver si gay suerte.
Buen vídeo.
Wow shocking
Thanks but, it's not very fast, i have a Game & watch Manhole (gold) and i have a very big Bleed (in totaly screen) you not have a Fast solusion ?
This solution is definitely Slow and it is a hit and miss at best, sorry I don't know of anything that can help with a screen bleed.
Cheers,
Tibi
thanks, I would try your technique
@@user-ko1vv4zo8b were you able to fix your game&watch? I tryed it and the issue only got worse
@@earlysparrow
I finally resold my game & watch for parts I did not manage to fix it :(
This One Weird Trick fixes LCD watch in minutes!
Does it work with phone LCD?
Shuqiong Xie I haven't tried it
So i just seperated glasses and cleaned the blue ink like liquid. What to do now? 😂😂
:)))
Thanks it just made mine worse:/
Yeah, it is 50 50 chance of working, sorry.
It’s ok.
