I completely dried a display that had water across the screen. Picture of the drying machine further up the posts. Not a trace of water and now fully epoxied. Worked great.
That image is not water in the screen, it’s epoxy. Whole display module is filled with epoxy, the image shows the epoxy not properly wetting out but it’s fully sealed all around. I’m confident no water will ever get in. Yep we have experience every single display eventually failing as well, so disappointing. Hopefully this simple epoxy fill fixes them.

After replacing the LED, the remote control started working. Before that, there was a black screen!
I gave the remote control to my friend for repair. He is an electronics engineer and he has the equipment. He disassembled the screen with a stationery knife, but very carefully. And I soldered the LEDs with a hair dryer.
I lost the remote. The little hook probably snapped, as evidenced by the intact rope I was left with.
I have to find an attachment solution and floatation solution.
Switched to the “brighter” version today and didn’t find iit any easier to see while foiling. Bright sunshine so I was wearing sunglasses (but I almost always do) and didn’t find any different.
Much brighter in the shade though.
Yes that little string running through the plastic clip doesn’t inspire confidence. I put the clip in the other section of it attached to the yellow float - wrist band and gave it a sharp tug
Pulled the string right out of the clip. Just a small knot holding it in.
