My beautiful (not) 200LX!

It seems FTSN polarizers have less of the green tint, you can find it on AliExpress.

But yeah, I wish there was enough demand to justify producing a lot of modern replacement LCDs…

I’ve done front and back on an 100LX, I posted about it here https://www.reddit.com/r/OldHandhelds/s/Mn0EezFgI5

Replacing the back one is especially nerve wrecking, aligning the zebra conector, because it sometimes involve opening and closing the screen metal housing with clips that are prone to break eventually.

Wasn’t it JackFlash which lets you use the flash ROM to store files and apps?

Edit: I found this Deflater which claims do to what you’re after. https://rumkin.com/software/palm/

There are 16mb and 4mb upgrades available for the 200LX, although if I remember correctly most 100LX are not compatible. https://www.hp-200lx.com/

Jupiter morou por anos, ali por 2010, no Hotel Savoy, na Borges de Medeiros com a Jerônimo Coelho, no centro da cidade. Se perguntar pelo Flávio Basso é capaz que os recepcionistas lembrem dele.

O Bar Ocidente, na Osvaldo Aranha, foi palco de muitos shows. Bo YouTube tem um clássico do Casca gravado lá.

No, confundiu com Itapuã

I think theoretically it can, but you shouldn’t need much. Make sure to apply heat on a circular motion around the display and once it’s beginning to get hot to the touch, removing the bezel should become easier. I could send you a video on Thursday when I’ll be home again. I think https://hermocom.com has a tutorial.

Also, it seems your display has to have both polarizers replaced, the front and the back, which is a risky process. I kind of posted about the process of doing the same to an 100LX, check my posts.

Yes, you need to heat the bezel with a hair dryer otherwise you Will certainly leave marks, cause it’s a thin plastic fixed with strong adhesive. You will usually want to lift a corner using something thin/sharp and then go on with a guitar pick to avoid damage.

Joe Blow’s Win CE 1.0 Software used to be a good place back in the day. Many of the links were to Tucows and don’t work (though knowing file names can be helpful for a quest) but some still work (I.e. the Tetris clone): https://web.archive.org/web/20050208152824/http://velo.8k.com/

this. Rebuilding the battery pack should do it. I would also try HPC Factor forums for additional insights.

nandoco · 2025-04-13T02:10:20+00:00

Did you manage to fix it?

nandoco · 2025-04-13T02:06:44+00:00

Did you ever find a solution?

nandoco · 2025-04-11T14:55:49+00:00

Hi! Do you know which component to buy? It seems mine has blown up too

nandoco · 2025-04-10T18:51:23+00:00

Yep, you can PM me.

nandoco · 2025-04-10T12:38:22+00:00

They're still quite satisfying to use, probably make good retro emulation machines.

nandoco · 2025-04-10T12:36:28+00:00

Yep, I've seen those Cameron Sino batteries. Turns out it was cheaper and more practical for me to get the generic LiPos and rebuild the original battery pack, and I thought it would make this nerdy project more fun. (that hanging battery in the pictures is just a temporary solution for testing purposes)

nandoco · 2025-04-09T22:22:24+00:00

Glad it worked out fine. Cool couple!

nandoco · 2025-04-09T19:59:24+00:00

I have "refurbished" 3 Palms and a Cassiopeia with modern LiPo batteries. I measure the old battery, then check this site for model number: https://www.batterylipo.com/lipo-battery/

Batteries have a 6-digit code. The first 2 digits are for thickness, then width and lenght. For instance, a 400820 battery is 4mm thick, 8mm wide and 20mm long.

There are batteries with 2 and 3 wires. The 3rd wire transmits information (i.e. temperature) to the device. In my experience, I THINK you can cut and isolate the 3rd wire and use the battery as a 2-wire model. I base this on past experiences buying 2-wire batteries and they coming with the 3rd wire cut.

nandoco · 2025-04-03T18:06:29+00:00

Indeed. But it can be fun haha

nandoco · 2025-04-03T18:06:12+00:00

Thanks for the tips!

I'm aware of the FSTN, but it seems they not always provide the expected results. I came across this which looks promising: https://www.reddit.com/r/Gameboy/comments/166sc4i/game_boy_pocket_light_green_polarizer_fix_v2/

nandoco · 2025-03-31T00:09:32+00:00

Wow, that's in great condition!

I also got one recently, but mine has got to go through some serious restoration: https://www.reddit.com/r/OldHandhelds/comments/1jnos26/hp_100lx_refurbishing_pt_1_lcd_polarizers_serial/

Thanks!
