PM3 missing vertical line

[Joebarbs]

I just bought a used rower with PM3. I noticed the LCD screen was a little off center so I took the battery cover off and tried to gently push the screen down from the inside with a screen driver (I know stupid) and it immediately caused a blank missing vertical line exactly where I pushed down on.

Is this fixable? Can I buy a replacement LCD? Or am I SOL?

You can indeed buy a replacement from Concept 2.

Might be worth comparing the price of a new LCD to the price of a new PM5 while you're looking

Just use it as it is, you can get multiple lines and still use it until you cannot read it.

Screens are pretty cheap in the USA, however be aware that the older screens had wildly different contrast settings required so if your DEFAULT LCD contrast setting is like 60 or nearly 200 a new screen will be either really light to the point you cannot read it or really dark when you first turn it on.

The new screens are VERY consistent and require a contrast setting of about 134. If your default setting is around this number, then your lucky and only a small tweek of the LCD contrast setting will be required and you will be able to see what your doing.

can you provide a link of the exact LCD screen I would need to replace with? Is it easy to swap out? Plug and play?
