SammichSID LCD recommendations UK

Hi all,

I’ve had a look through the forum, but can’t seem to find what i’m looking for.

I’m after a replacement LCD with backlight for my Sammich, I know its a 20x2 using the HD44780 protocol, but they seem hard to track down in the UK?

I’ve tried an OLED, but found through reading the forum they are pretty much a no go.

I did get a replacement from poland which is electrically compatible, but not mechanically and doesn’t fit in the PCB properly, so I was just wondering if anyone knew where I can source one for a reasonable price that is electronically and mechanically compatible?

Thanks :)

RS have units that will work. well, they did a couple of years ago when i last went looking. If You still have the one that came with the sammich then you can bring it in to your RS store and the staff at the trade counter will be able to work out what You need, or at least tell You they do/do not do them anymore. worth a shot.
