Hi Locator, do you have any advice for a compatible LCD for my Spectrum XLT? Thank you!

Right at the moment I think this is your best bet: --> https://centrevilleelectronics.net/parts.htm

It may be that Carl Moreland - "geotech" - can help more.

After my earlier reply to this thread I bought a display that should have worked but it did not. I have heard that there is a particular display that will work but I don't know which one.

I read on another forum that the DFX display may be an acceptable replacement.  Maybe Geotech can comment as to whether this is true or false.

XLT & DFX use the same display.

  Along the same lines... I just bid and won a White's M6 detector off Ebay.  It was listed with this LCD problem.  Still works, Just doesn't display.  I haven't got it yet from shipping so I can't open the pod and see if it's a bad connection yet.  Hoping this is the case.  Anyone know it there's replacement ones for the M6?

Be careful. The plastic parts holding the display will break very easy; and this plastic is hard to glue.

The M6 display is a very generic one, should be easy to find. OTOH, I've never seen one go bad, so I suspect a connection problem.

One more question about the display for XLT/DFX, Carl. When I do a search for the ST7920 they come up with 5V and 3V. Which one may work? I'd chose the 5V one. Will this be correct?

[Geotech]

Yes, 5V.
