Awesome! So glad it worked! I think to recreate the original look of the screen, you'd have needed to take the device apart and remove the polarizers from both sides of the glass, then apply two new opposing polarizers on each side. But to be honest, I'm not sure it would be worth doing when this worked so well with so much less hassle!

"less hassle". Sure.

@@Atmatan_Kabbaher Yes. Significantly less hassle. The method in this video involves putting a sticker on a screen. It's much easier and quicker than cutting the polarizers off both sides, removing a bunch of adhesive, figuring out the angle for both polarizers, cutting them to size, and applying them correctly.

@@rayjt9 Literally the only thing you need to do is take the back display off and turn it sideways. No need to cut literally anything, no adhesive to clean, no angling. Literally one step. So no, not less hassle than this twenty minutes of mediocrity.

@@Atmatan_Kabbaher that's not even remotely true lol From that comment it honestly sounds like you've never tried to fix one of these screens. You literally have to use a razor blade to lift the polarizer, it doesn't just come off. It's a normal monochrome LCD, same as on digital watches and the Gameboy/GB Pocket (might be worth looking at videos of Gameboy polarizer repair.) They use optically clear adhesive to glue it on at point of manufacture. If you manage to cleanly get it off and turn it sideways (I'm assuming 90 degrees) it's not really going to help with the polarizer burn, it's just going to change the polarizer angle which will invert the whole display. And you'd still need to remove the old adhesive, because removing the polarizer will damage it, and it will no longer be sticky enough to hold anything in place. In the more likely event where the polarizer does not come off cleanly, you need to cut a new one to the correct size, at the correct angle. I've literally done this dozens of times to restore old vpets, it's a huge hassle and the process is not remotely anything similar to the process you're describing. I wish it was!

@@rayjt9 So have I, and it sounds like you just have rough hands or something. I cleanly remove the backing with my nail every single time, and you need to remove the _backing_ layer and turn it sideways, not the polarizer. I sell modded casios, I'm pretty sure I comprehend how LCDs work. My next project is going to be adding an electroluminescent backlight to my V-Pet. It will be literally as easy as taking the background out and then putting the mod in. If you thinking modding vpets is hard, learn to work with real technology. This is actual, literal child's play.

That is genius!!! Huge improvement. I never would have known this was possible in a million years. Brilliant. This video is gonna be so helpful to so many people.

At least we now know 1 way to a fix screen. Screens can be so hard to fix in any way so I so happy this worked out 😆

Its so cool! Never thought the screen can be repaired in this way! Thanks for sharing!!!

Very smart fix - Such an improvement. Really happy for you.

What a simple and safe fix. Well done and thanks for sharing, what a great result. 😄

That is incredible that it works wonderful job and nice sooo many uploads recently keep up the awesome work👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿

This is so awesome it’s like a brand new device

Thank you so much for this video. The day after watching it I received a device in the mail and the screen was so faded just like yours. Thanks to this fix I can now see the digimon I’m raising much better 😊

I really hope you can get yours all fixed up! I know how heart crushing it can be when you get your new devices this way. So exciting and then its not working right.

thank you for this

WOW Great job! it looks 500 times better!

I still can't believe how much better it looks 😆

Definitely gonna see about buying some of that

thanks it helped

I was really hoping this trick would work to do something about the faded pixels that seem to come standard on the Tamagotchi gen 1 and 2 remakes but alas, it only seems to make my screen look like a puddle of oil. Works on the Digimon but I guess 2017-23 tamas are made from different stuff.

I'm going to test this with my dm20th, see if the screen looks better that way. Thanks for the video

Let us know how it goes!

Does anyone know how to fix a dead pixel screen. I have a horizontal dead pixel. I tried to clean the lcd, connector but it's not working

very good the video 😍😍☺️☺️

You really shouldve just taken it apart, removed the dead polarizing layer under the screen, and then cut a new, actual square version to replace it. It wouldve legitimately been easier, looked better, and from my assumption wouldve lasted longer than this inevitably did.
