Both install guides mention adding thin painters tape strips to compensate for LCD tray warpage. The tape will eliminate display issues. The display issues are missing lines, flickering lines in the display. There are pics and tips in both on how to deal with it. Presoak the original LCD zebra connectors with a Q-tip soaked in alcohol before removing it. This protects the carbon conductive coating on the silicone zebra connectors.

NEW LCD Install notes
Currently, there are 2 purchasing options. Replacement LCD and LCD with install.
The Backlit LCD kit and Backlit kit w/install are out of stock.
The Install Option is to send the MV unit to me to perform the install. I can check on other items also like cleaning and polishing the battery contacts and solder the battery contacts to the board on the early units. The later MV units were soldered on. This also includes cleaning and adjusting the paddle wheel (potentiometer) with adding new switch lubricant impregnated with graphite and cleaning the power switch if needed.
