    VideoPhone screen not working

    I purchased three AT&T VideoPhone 2500 units and all three worked until (and I assume this is totally unrelated) I pulled the battery on one, then the LCD stop displaying anything other than a black or white screen.
    Because I had two other working phones I swapped parts around until I concluded that the issue lay in the logic board above the screen the camera was attached to. Further testing found that when the phone was powered up a Sony CXD1254AR Camera sync and timing signal generator chip was getting near burning to the touch so either it's shorted out or something is shorting it out.
    From there I can't really conclude what is at fault, or even why the LCD would even need this chip to operate (just for timing?).

    Yes, that chip could be generating the refresh for the LCD too. What type of LCD is it? This is more likely if the LCD doesn't have its own controller and simply takes pixel data clocked into it, as opposed to more advanced types that interface to a processor via a databus and have their own controller.

      I'm not exactly sure of the type of LCD it has. I can't find anything about it in the manual but for 1992 it's an AWFUL color screen. It has some persistence in it I have not seen since the IBM 5151.

        microsoft surface pro 5 touch screen not working
        by Gabriel Lucas
        Hello everyone, I bought a Microsoft Surface Pro 5 and the touch doesn't work. According to what the previous owner said, the screen stopped working after an update. The screen has no physical damage, and the touch works for 1 second when it turns on and then stops working. I've tried updating the drivers, formatting, and returning to factory defaults, but nothing worked. Can you help me?

        iphone XS turns off when press on screen.
        by smic717394
        Hi,

        I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...

        To fix laptop screen vertical line by working on its EDP cable
        by almarhum
