South Africa C4 user Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I have one SR260 which I have had since they first came out. I have noticed recently that when I move through menu items, I see bits of extra text under the highlight bar. I don’t think it is my eyesight! It reminds me of old computer screens getting burn in when there was no screen saver used. However, it can’t be burn in as when I am out of the menus and on the home screen, I can see the room name and a perfectly black screen with no burn in. The problem is worse in some menu colours than others. I first noticed it when I got bored of green and changed to orange. I have subsequently changed back to green and it is nowhere near as bad although it is noticeable. Has anyone else experienced this? I assume there is no fix?

Cyknight Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 LEDs don't burn in. Yes that's period. HOWEVER, they can get image retention, where for a little time afterwards an LED (color) doesn't shut off all the way- I don't know for sure but would imagine OLED suffers the same issue. Then again, I've never seen it or heard anyone else on it so.... South Africa C4 user 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I have the same issue with one of my remotes actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyknight Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Mhh. I'll keep an eye out myself - but if I had to guess, the OLEDs are getting 'tired' OR the orange colors are causing an increased rate of image retention. I'll set one of mine to the same colour and test as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is exactly what I am getting. Much worse in the orange although it is there (but vaguely so) now that I hav returned to green...

vstar Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 i do not own a sr260 that I can rip apart (i have 8 or so sr250's) to verify but after looking at the specifications of the display and looking at a picture of one with the case off it is possible this may be an inexpensive replacement display? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1-77-inch-Full-Color-OLED-Screen-SSD1353-Drive-IC-160-128-Long-FPC/32829053322.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.1.2d9f4fd35D24vW&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_3_10065_10130_10068_318_5727318_10547_319_10548_10696_10084_10083_10618_452_10139_10307_532_204_10059_10884_10887_100031_320_10103_5727218,searchweb201603_1,ppcSwitch_0&algo_expid=bb444b1b-147c-463e-9fcd-f9709ae9e470-0&algo_pvid=bb444b1b-147c-463e-9fcd-f9709ae9e470&transAbTest=ae803_5&priceBeautifyAB=0 there is another thread with a tutorial on doing this on a sr250 with cracked display so it may be of some help with regards on opening the sr260?

martinalex Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hello all, this thread obviously hasn’t been updated in awhile but I wanted to shed some light. I pulled the trigger on a few replacement screens, similar to the one mentioned above; just from a different seller with some better reviews. I am happy to report that the screen replacement went flawlessly, and has brought back life to these remotes. The tear down process was a little daunting, just because my fear of breaking the case! Once the shell is off, it’s pretty self explanatory; remove the ribbon cable, remove the screen via clips. The screen is housed in a plastic frame and is glued into place. It was possible to remove it with just force, but a heat gun may have been easier. From there, the new screen went back in, ribbon cable follows, and finally snap the casing back on. The screens from the original seller I bought from are unavailable now, but here is the same item from a different seller. I have attached some before and after photos. Happy tinkering! samrwalker and msgreenf 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same problem and want to attempt this replacement, but I’ll have to try and find another supplier. The shipping on those guys is pricey!

The shipping on those guys is pricey! Yeah the shipping was not very wallet friendly. It accounted for over half of the order. Took about a month to deliver. Definitely worth it though vs. a brand new remote! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 If this is due to the dim screen - you may be better off just getting a replacement under the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that they stopped offering the dim screen replacement years ago? I bought two SR-260s on the second hand market that have dim screens.
