I see that your weather box LCD screen in your pictures is not working. I have just fixed the same issue on my BAR800 weather box; if you have not fixed that issue yet, I can tell you how to do that.

Fulvio Galiani -

how do you fix that i have busted screen on a bar 800 and need directions

Filip cauwel -

Hi Fulvio, I have a BAR800 and the display has some missing segments - please can you let me know how to fix it.

Thanks

Vic -

Hi Fulvio, I have the same problem! How did you fix it?

Andrea V -

To solve the missing digits and segments on the LCD, in my case I just inserted a small bent paper on the flat white cable (strip) to add a small bit of more pressure into the connectors.

You can read more on Stackexchange searching for partially-broken-lcd-missing-segments

I lost the the sound on this demo. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Sheila McWilliams -

I was hoping that Andre could repost this repair. I only show a partial post. This fix is exactly what I need. Thanks, Sheila

Sheila McWilliams -

Hello, useful repair description. It does not solve the whole but it helps .... My bar 800 was defect. Screen was flashing whole time, like a kind of reset during inilization that never ends up .... So all possible signs in display were shown and after 1 sec all off. This again and again...Thanks to the instructions i disassembled the station. I disoldered the small platine and seems to work ALL again!!! What is then the small platine for?! My suposition is that the small platine could be a barometer, that only is issued for wheater forecast. Now it is showing raining and maybe forever ....

Can you please repost or add once more your procedure?

Frantisek Suchy -

Hi everybody. I am going to attempt repair of missing segments and I would like to know where exactly the extra pressure has to be applied. I see a few white stripy places and I am not an expert¡ thanks!
