I accidentally applied 15v to my LCD2041 (which doesn't like to than 5v). It got VERY bright and died before I could unplug.

This must be a common failure mode, and was wondering if there was any repair or salvage option? It is likely to be the LCD itself, or the driver that died ? If it's only one of the other, can other board that might have survived by mated with a new ... something.

Hi dudek,

I am sorry to confirm your suspicion, but ya, your display is dead. 15V will most definitely kill a standard LCD2041. As for repair or salvage, given the nature of the failure, both our controller board and the LCD will have sustained irreparable damage.

Sorry to be the barrier of bad news.
