JVC Everio GZ-EX355BU Touchscreen reassemble layers replacement
The touchscreen on my JVC camcorder was cracked and not working, so I ordered a replacement. Thought it was going to be a simple (relatively) fix. I got it all apart, and popped the cover off the LCD/touchscreen. I wasn't paying enough attention, and there were like 3 or four layers of different film that fell out. I believe they were between the actual processor board and LCD, but can't figure out in what order they belong. When I put them back together the way I thought, the LCD was very dim, and really only lit up on the side where the LEDs are. I played around with different configurations, and got it to work mostly, but it is still very dim. There were two pieces of 'clear' sheeting that looked like they may have been magnifying, and then there were two that looked like foil/reflective. Lastly, there was a hard plastic piece and a black 'frame' piece that was very flexible/fragile. The last affect is that when I flip the monitor while recording, the image is upside down. I don't know if that is because of the way I have the sheets, or if it is something else.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Is this a good question?
In doing more research, it appears that one or more of these sheets and/or the hard plastic are called diffuser sheets. Meant to spread the light across the LCD panel. So now the question is still in what order do they need to go in.
