Accucel repairs #2

2 years after the Accucel's 1st surgery to break out the balancing header, it was time to replace the buttons, which had manely stopped working. They graciously exposed all the buttons on a header. It merely entailed breaking them out on a very long ribbon cable. The 12 year old buttons from Heroineclock 1 were installed. They were heavily rusted. 2 of them didn't work. Fortunately, had another 2 buttons from a camera remote of long ago. They used to be a 30 minute run to Radio Shack. Now, the only way to get more of those is a 2 week order.


The Accucel's LCD is still broken, but hasn't degraded. It may end up being reverse engineered & replaced by a converter to drive a larger LCD. There's no evidence of what part it was, but it only has 4 data lines. It's been such a waste of time repairing this $35 antique, the process might as well keep going.
