Screen replacement for Analog Four Mk1

Hi,

just jumped onto a used Analog Four MK1, but the screen is kindof fading. On one post, it was recommended to get a Winstar WG12232A, but there are something I don’t quite understand.
Like which is the one to get the 3.3v or the 5v? I can find products of both voltages in 3 different colours.
Also do I need to program this? I’m not good at programming so if there is a tutorial on how to program this would be great.
Have anyone tried replacing the screen themselves? Any recommendation and which model of the screen works well with the A4 mk1?

I’d mail elektron and ask if they have spare parts.

Definitely email Elektron. I wanted to replace my mki screen as well and forwarded a screen that was suggested on the forum. Received a resounding “no” in terms of compatibility so better safe than sorry. If you do find something compatible please report back!

ok. I’ll send elektron an email. I hope that they will just sell me the part

This could be a very easy, free fix - I had a problem with a fading screen as well and this thread told me how to solve it within 20 minutes:

super Redukt! thanks for sharing. OK I’ll give it a shot and report back.

Well? Did it work?

Hi, i just got an MK1 and i received it like this… A little upset… but after receiving 25 insulting messages from the seller when I sent him a message to talk to him about the quality of the sending and the state of the screen, I preferred to stop the conversation and find a solution of my side.

looking at the photo, I imagine a replacement is needed? How much does a replacement with Elektron cost on average?

I also once saw a person on Elektronauts who replaced the screen with a new one, with a new color. Do you have contact? is he in Europe?

Thanks for your help!

I’ll pay attention here because my time will come eventually.

There is also a third party OLED replacement by @zigmars
