Where to find Sony LCD for camcorder viewfinder

[Simon960]

Hi,

My Grandma has just given me an old JVC camcorder that was her late
husbands. It has been stored in a cold garage and the view finder has
lost it's colour.


I have opened it up and found the component details as below but I've
searched on Google and RS and can't find the part anywhere. Where
should I be looking for this part?

Many thanks for your help on this

'Colour'? As not 'color' I'll suggest CPC in Preston, Lancashire. They
often have device-specific parts. If this LCD was anything like standard,
they might still have one.

Well spotted! Thanks for the very fast response, I'll call them
tomorrow.

Thanks

Are you sure that's the cause?

Just a thought - was it originally colour? It may have been only b&w...

This is not a failure mode for color LCDs. The viewfinder is either
monochrome, OR it is being driven off the composite video signal and
there is a problem in the chroma path, e.g. open-circuit electrolytic
capacitor.

Inspect the LCD closely, under magnification. If it is color you will
be able to observe the RGB triads very easily. On this type of LCD they
would normally be in a staggered (diagonal) pattern.
