Hi all. I’m in need of some help finding a new screen for my OP-1. I see there are some discussions on the forum about this, but they are older and the suggestions/links people provided are no longer in existence. I have searched online, and written dozens of companies with the screen specs, and so far everyone has responded to say they do not have a screen matching those specifications. I have also written Teenage Engineering support, but it is now going on three weeks with no response.
I opened up the unit and spent an extensive amount of time playing with the ribbon cable connection to make sure this wasn’t the issue.
The screen is completely dead, totally dark, no illumination at all. Everything else functions perfectly.
I am in the US, but at this point I’d be willing to order from overseas if needed. I’d also be happy to send it in for repair, if I can just manage to make contact with TE support sometime this calendar year.
If they are still selling units then this shouldnt be a problem for them to replace. I wouldnt be discouraged just yet…only hammer off more emails/tweets etc. Some folk give TE an easy ride because they are a small company, but for the prices they sell everything expect the PO series at, they should have a good support term in place. Good luck efada. (my op-1 has a dodgy input connection, flakey speaker…3 years in of careful use. Love the machine, just think that many of the materials used are cheap components).
I would be very surprised. But I would welcome it… Unless it meant I couldn’t repair my op¹ in the future, in the case of not wanting the “improved” build.
