Pentair Automation - Screen Issue

[FattyLumpkin]

Hi all - opened our pool this past week, and after the winter, the LCD screen on my automation panel isn't working correctly. It's a 4-line scrollable display, and the bottom two lines are not showing. This makes it impossible (at least as far as I can tell) to see/update the schedule and other functions.

Does anyone know if the screen itself is replaceable, or do I need a whole new unit?

See pics.

TIA!

Did a quick search on Easytouch Screen. Lots of hits -- this is the top one. It has the description of the replacement part.

Pentair Easy Touch LCD Screen

I opened my pool this year to a malfunctioning LCD screen (and 2 broken CVA-24 actuators. but I'll save that for a different thread) I called Pentair and was told that I needed to replace the entire mother board on the panel. I'm asking you guys for better advise!!! HA! I've attached a picture...

Thank you both - I came across that after I posted. I know, search is my friend.

Anyway, I have never soldered anything in my entire life, but I ordered the part anyway. I figure, worst case, I'm getting a new motherboard anyway. And the part is like $5.

Just wanted to close the loop on this for anyone else that has a screen issue with their EasyTouch. I worked with @ogdento, and he was able to get me set straight - back up and running! Awesome guy, great communications. Highly recommend reaching out to him if you have any issues with your EasyTouch!
