Sharp microwave display panel

I've been rehabbing a 2004 model 2550 for the last couple of months. Now getting around to the "nice to have" list.

The microwave works great - except that the display does not. There's only a couple of LEDs left that work. The model is a Sharp Carousel Convection R-820BW. No luck finding the part (LED sheet - PSHEPA626WRE0) online.

Anybody have a clue where to get the part? It would be a shame to trash this microwave since it looks and fits good and still works fine.

Everywhere I have looked, the led sheet is no longer manufactured.  In addition, I can't find even a used oven for sale where you could salvage parts from.

I presume you have already done this, but if not, I would check that the ribbon cable to the LED sheet is clean and seated properly.

Sorry

I replaced mine once in an old PC with a standard Sharp microwave. All mounting parts and size were identical, was very easy to change.

eBay is the universal go-to place for obsolete nos or recycled parts. You may thank me later 

Hi emcee,

You just might get lucky by trying this.

Remove the circuit board that the display is soldered to.  Assuming it is a thru-hole display component, touch each solder joint with a soldering iron to liquefy each connection, then allow to harden again.  Using solder flux helps a lot.  It just might be that all the jolting from driving has cracked the solder connections, rendering the segments of the display to go dead.  Solder-reflowing them again, might get it working properly again.

When installing your microwave oven, I advise to do as I did (CLICK HERE) so the microwave doesn't come loose and rattle.  I did that back in 2016 and all remains tightly mounted to this day.
