PRS-950 Problem with Sony PRS-950 screen

Wintercat · 11-17-2016, 07:39 AM

After replacing broken screen in my Sony PRS-950 (screen model: LB071WS1-RD02), it doesn't work properly. It show text from right to left with "mirroring" , so I must use mirror to read what is on the screen . I've downloaded from web Sony's official service manual, it says, that after replacing such part as screen, I should re-enter Vcom and LUT (from the label of new screen) in "test mode". To enter "test mode" there is a need to put file to the reader. I've tried to find this file with no success. Service manual says : "Note:Conﬁrm the method of obtaining the ﬁle for test mode to each ser-vice headquarters". But Sony give no answer for my inquiry. If somebody have an experience of replacing screen in PRS-950 or can advise how to obtain file for test mode/enter Vcom, LUT please, help me!

Glad to be of assistance, and thanks for the feedback.
I hope you got your screen right, after entering the new values.
