hi everyone.
i have 2 0634-5019 in working contion but i've noticed that one of them has some problems, i mean by pushing the change over botton the watch goes to time setting mode instead of stop watch mode. i thought it may be a voltage problem. anyhow i decided to change the whole module with the other one which had poor phisical condition. in the process i made a mistake and the liquid cristal panel became like the pic below:

hopefully it belongs to one which has working problems and the other lcd is fine.
i wanted to ask if there is a chance to save the faulty lcd or it is dead ?
thank u in advance[emoji4]

Oh man, you didn't!
These LCD units are rarer than hens teeth. I spent 6 months finding one for my 0674.
I'd say no chance of fixing that. Hopefully the other LCD is working and you can safely swap it into the working module.

Huh, how come? I would think there is only one way to assemble these...

Other than that, it's quite nice looking. Here is a pic of mine with the lcd bleeding. Non-reversible, sadly. I've got a donor panel, but still have to install it. Any tips on how not to break anything? :grin:

I'm not sure if you're serious or not Jonas.
If it's the same as the 0674, you just gently lift the LCD off. No force needed. Once it's off you just gently push the replacement on. I'm not sure how you'd go about damaging it - not meaning to disparage the OP :)
There is my thread somewhere here on my experience disassembling the 0674.

Your module Is likely that it's in need of a good service. There is always the chance that it's one if the few that can't be repaired though.
The old trick of squeezing the liquid crystal back into the reserve channels does work on occasion though is likely to return in the future, not all ways but it can happen. It only works with some lcds
As for breaking the LCD , classic mistake done by heavy hands.

If you put back the panel make sure that:
- The panel sits flush in its frame (use a magnifying glass to check the edges).
- The panel spring sits perfectly in the two pins (push it towards the pins) before you apply pressure.

If the panel is already damaged and you apply pressure to the spring bleeding will be visible. In some cases it disappears after a while.
