    Polaroid FLM-323B with Element main, works but shows "Element" on screen at power up

    It's the exact same sticker number. Is there a way to fix this?

    No. The firmware for the board is programmed with the logo, there is no changing that without replacing the firmware.

    One trick: You could put a large capacitor on the BLON line so the screen stays dark during the boot-up sequence . A series resistor may be necessary. Use 3RC (3 * resistance * capacitance) to get a good estimate of R and C to create a decent delay.

      I do have a dead Element FLX-3211 under the bench that, according to ShopJimmy.com, came from the factory with the same panel and control box as this Polaroid. I bet I could have it swapped in an hour. The only downside is that I could potentially damage the screen.

        Got it all swapped tonight. It was a snap. Now the Element works and says "Element" at start-up.
