 +===== Preset of display contrast =====
 +
 +Have you ever asked yourself what this tiny trimpot on the rear side of the display board does?
 +
 +Well if your display is working fine and contrast setting can be done via setup menu there is 
 +probably no need to.
 +
 +The initial setting was done by the manufacturer and normally this should work all right.
 +
 +In case you have trouble with your display contrast it may be helpful to check this alignment according to the picture shown below.
 +
 +Turning this trimpot clockwise will increase display contrast while turning counterclockwise will decrease it.
 +Please be aware that this is a very coarse setting. This SMD-trimpot has no upper or lower limitations. It can be turned around the full 360 deg.
 +
 +The fine adjustment is done afterwards in the Skyper setup menu using the up and down keys.

 +===== Separating the display board from the case =====
 +
 +In case you have trouble with the silicone rubber keyboard or with the microswitches underneath
 +you may want to take display board and case of your Skyper apart.
 +
 +Another reason to do this may be that you want to clean the display and case from the inside.
 +
 +
 +{{:​p6160003y.jpg|}}
 +
 +Of course you can do this like DK7TD describes it using a small screwdriver.
 +
 +If you are unlucky you may end up with a display where some lines of pixels are missing
 +when you power up your Skyper afterwards.
 +
 +What has happened? While pulling out the display board this way the flexible board connector
 +atop of the LCD display may move and some pins can get loose.
 +
 +Should this ever happen there is no way to fix this. 
 +
 +After experiencing this twice up to now (I have modified >20 Skyper) I asked myself:
 +
 +Is there a safer way to work on the display board?
 +
 +YES there is one.
