sharp microwave lcd display repair made in china

In my previous job (just been made redundant), one of the products I repaired were microwaves, and I did have to change the displays occasionally. Some of them were easy, as they were plug in, the others had to be wired to the control board which always meant replacing the two.

We did sell them by the bucket load, and the numbers we saw to repair were not excessive. I can"t give you any statistics unfortunately. We did not experience any problems in getting spares.

On my Carousel MW, while two of the four back screws were Phillips head, the other two were Torx with a tamper proof center peg. Using a Dremel narrow cutting wheel, I cut slots in the screws to receive a flat head screwdriver. The control panel was mounted to the chassis with notched tabs so that the panel must be lifted to remove. Before the panel can be lifted, a Phillips screw had to be taken out. The plastic screw receiver shattered when this was attempted. A tab shattered as well. The display ribbon connector was hard-wired between the display itself and a dedicated circuit board, therefore it was irreparable, so I put the microwave back together again. I had to drill a hole through the top of the control panel and bolt the panel to the chassis in place of the broken screw receiver. A total waste of time in my case. I will continue to use the MW without a display as I have for the last decade or so.
