Parsing Heads-up Display from the Recon Instruments MOD Live ski mask. Attempting to fix ...

Dear ladies and gentlemen, do not repeat this method of parsing Heads-up display, since after, with a high probability, there will be only an Android device without the ability to display information.
I did not find a single article about the analysis before I began to disassemble, which is a pity! I will try to correct this defect.



For the brave and curious photos of the opening of the display, as well as more than a dozen images of the internal microdisplay under the cut ...

My acquaintance with the Heads-up Display technology did not begin with the points from the search giant, but with the MOD Live mask from the Recon Instrument display. Great was a gift from a friend for the thirtieth! It is a pity that I managed to break the display on the first trip to the mountains in this mask.



I will not paint marketing nonsense and obviousness about Heads-up Display its convenience and innovation ... You can find it all on the manufacturer's website and shops selling gadgets. Next you are waiting for photos of the opened display and only hardcore ...

The cause of the breakdown is trivial - trying to adjust the viewing angle of the display in a mask on a slope without disassembling it. The owners of MOD Live and, possibly Snow2, be careful !!! The protective metal ring supporting the display hinge has come off. The hinge broke into two parts and, continuing to rotate the display by inertia, I broke the train.

It was a shame, but the RF service centers Recon Instruments could not be found. None of the repairmen forums responded to the announcement. It remained to independently try to somehow replace the train.

Analysis of the main part of the device is very simple, you only need a small screwdriver with hexagonal nozzles. I once bought such a screwdriver and successfully repaired the audio plug in my first Asus P535 smartphone, and that's when the screwdriver came in handy.

Actually, in the MOD Live photo from the article the hinge is marked, it is also the place where I managed to break the train.

The display, when he was still working ...


The MOD Live printed circuit board is a two-sided installation of elements, screened and moisture-proof housings above the processor, memory and strapping.
Outside barometer sensor:

Display connectors and diagnostic connector (to the right of the casing):


By the way, can someone recognize the white connector of the display on the board and where can the same connector for smd editing be found in Moscow? I would be grateful for the information!

Torn display plume hiding on one side in the case:


And now the most difficult in parsing is the non-folding display case:


No snaps, rubber seals and other things. Just a factory-made ABS plastic case.
The heated scalpel comes into play:



Prism with lens:




LED matrix with backlight module assembly:


Backlight module only:



Farewell LED matrix and cable:


I have the result of the analysis - EPIC FAIL !!!

I wish everyone good luck, I hope the photo will help someone to abandon the analysis of the microdisplay, and someone to make their device from the prism, watering hose, display from android hours, rim from glasses and blue tape ;-)

Why do you think, with such a simple-looking Micro Optics Display design, the market is not yet filled with such devices?
