Just Got My Aquaero

Sonntag, 10. Dezember 2006, 07:02

So I just bought my Aquaero, imported from Germany to the US, from Sharka Computer today.

It performs just great and I am happy with it, except there seems to be this little "burn" mark from manufacturing on the glass (in the upper right) that surrounds the LCD When I look under the LCD's glass from the side, I can see this metal disk that's exactly underneath it:





So what do you think..?

I don't think I can be under warranty of Aqua Computers because I am in the US and I don't really feel like troubling Sharka Computer with such a minute defect. They only have around 2 or 3 other Aquaeros.

Maybe I'd be able to get a replacement Crystalfontz LCD? That's what the top part is right? Aqua Computers doesn't manufacture teh LCD correct?

EDIT: I've been told in a seperate forum that this is a characteristic of ALL Aquaero VFD's! Why?

What can I do about this?

thanks

Hi,
every aquaero VFD has this burning mark. It's not a bug it's a feature....
The display is a vacuum display and the displays are evacuated at this point. After that the glas will be closed by burning. So there is no display available without this.

d3daim, I already wrote you in hardforum.com ;)

The easiest way would be to use a color foil. Costs only a few cent and the burning mark will become almost invisible. Not to mention that you can get a nice color effect with that or do you like that white-green? ;)

Aha yes I know :P

I just wanted to get another outlook on this, that's all.

Yes, I am positive I will be doing this foil mod..I just need to find it on eBay. It's a pretty specialized little thing. heh
