Tuscan LCD alternative
Discussion
As most of you I also have a common problem with missing lines one the LCD display. Yesterday I disassembled my pod and by the looks of it the LCD display is not something especially made TVR. So i started to search the internet and found at electronic shop the same display with the same code stamped on it for 54,00 EUR - more than half a price. It seems to be a standard electronic part that can be bought.
I'm waiting for the answer of the retailer to see if it's the same unit or if there is a chance that TVR tweaked or programed the display in some sort that it is not exchangeable.
I will let you know as soon as I get the info or as soon as the LCD works again.

Got a link to where your buying from?
It should be a standard part that is fitted without any TVR alterations.
I did a group buy last year for T350/Sag/Tamora owners on their LCD
I believe the part for the Tuscan is MGLS12864T-S-HT-HV-LED04-12 and it should be a 78x70mm PCB. It's a varitronix part and should be available from a company called trident (http://www.trident-uk.co.uk/jkcm/) in the UK, although when i did my group buy i dont think there was any stock of the Tuscan display - i was quoted approx £34 for the display. Worth contacting them and asking again though.

I'm not that far yet. The producer of these displays is Varitronix.
Varitronix
They have office also in UK and Germany (and some other countries to) I will contact them next week to check why these displays stop working. They have different ranges. Maybe they can offer a solution. I will keep you up to date.

OK have managed to find 31 LCD displays part numnber MGLS12864T-S-HT-HV-LED04, however they do not have the "-12", they are also unsure what it means, so it may be insignificant.
hab1966 - have you any idea?
Im going to take a quick look at mine when i can see if i can establish any difference, otherwise i may take a gamble - it may save me £100 odd.
One off price is £40 and a group discount if there is over 10 of us...
Will keep you posted...Rob
