- I have a Sharp 6220 that has died in a rather odd manner. It lost two columns
- of pixels (each about 8 pixels wide) from the top right of the screen to half
- way down the screen. This is most likely due to excessive vibration while
- moving, and has been traced down to two ICs on the LCD becoming unbonded (for
- those souls not intrepid enough to crack the case open, the LCD has IC dies
- bonded directly to a flexible PC with solder bump technology). I will attempt
- to get Sharp to quote a reasonable repair, and if they don't will attempt the
- repair myself, but the chances of either being successful ar slim. Hence the
- post. This is the only damage to the device, which otherwise works perfectly.
-
- I anticipate having the following for sale and will entertain offers on the
- whole or the parts (will work with TI Travelmate 2000 as well):
-
- Sharp 6220 with above damage, or:
- (2) 1 meg RAM expansion cards (brings total mem to 3 Meg)
- (1) Megahertz 2400 Baud MNP5 / 9600 Baud fax modem
- (1) 20 Meg 2.5 inch drive (only if I can't sell the complete
- carcass)
- (1) dead Sharp 6220-minus everything above
- (1) Cannon BJ10 that has mysteriously refused to print (the carriage
- won't advance toward the paper, and occasionally I get errors on
- powerup) This printer has been only used for about 30 prints. I
- just don't have the inclination to deal with it.
-
- OR
-
- I would like to buy a dead Sharp 6220 or TI 2000 (I think the 3000 would work
- too) that has no damage to the LCD display.
