Step 13
Put the foil back behind the display. Remember the latches marked
blue
from
Step 12
. The foil must fit behind them!
If there's some dust between foil and display you'll have to clean the area
first by using a lint free cloth. Do not use any chemicals. Otherwise you'll
see dark spots if the backlight is on.
Put the wires back into the notch shown in
Step 12
(
yellow
).
Step 14
Replace the capacitor C121 which is marked
magenta
with the one
included in the replacement kit.
Only if the capacitor is replaced the foil will be driven with the
same frequency as the original one.
By replacing the capacitor you'll reduce the risk to get flickering
effects with moving images on the display in some environments
(depending on the used lighting-technology)
Another effect is that the foil will shine brighter (about 5%) with the
new capacitor.
The correct position of the capacitor: The shape of the capacitor-foot and the
printed shape on the board must match!
Step 15
Reassamble your Newton™ by doing the above steps in backwards order. Make
sure to place the cables in their correct positions in order to avoid squeezing or
sheering them between the housing-parts.
