It's that time of year when we sell off our production scrap. These board do not work, but they make for great practice, and if you're good with the tools, you might even salvage some serious dough. These boards are a great way to encourage hot-air rework, scoring usable parts, and not having to fret if the rework goes poorly.
The production scrap is divided up into the applicable store front category. It's a surprise! You might get any failed product within that category. This product is for an item from the LCD Category.
Defects range from incorrect designs, PCB defects, incorrectly assembled boards, bad parts, bad soldering, blemishes, or anything that would make the SparkFun product not able to be sold on our store front.
Units come in single pieces and there in no guarantee as to what you will be receiving, but we can guarantee that you will not receive a blank PCB!
**We cannot accept requests, returns, exchanges, provide documentation, or provide support on any aspect of these boards. **
We hope you can give a second life to some of these parts!

Must... resist... impulse buy...
These 'boards' do not work... there 'is' no guarantee...
yes--it isn't guaranteed that they won't work, but they might if you get lucky (probably 1 in a 1000, if they ever come back in stock....)
Hey guys, for those not lucky to buy scrap, please leave comments, what did you get, when you get it.
Bah, got two boards and no displays.
How are seven segment displays liquid crystal?
7-segs can be LCD, though the ones here are admittedly not. Still, they fit best in that category.
Yeah, I would have just called them "displays", which about covers it.
Does this mean we will see scrap parts bags soon!?
I can't wait for that day! I hope they set a limit of 1 bag per customer so that we can get a chance at getting one.
On other scrap boards, you kinda expect it to have problems or be incomplete. But when it says LCD, you do kinda expect there will be an LCD component. I read it a bunch of times, and know there were no promises, but where the main component for the board in question is missing, it might be helpful to be clear on that.
Hope to see some more soon!
Has anyone got there's yet?
wow went within hours
how many things do you get in a bag, just 1 or do they give you a few things, i have always wondered about that.
Just one
Only two left! Wow, they're selling out fast!!! Glad I was able to get my order in.
And... They're gone.
i bought 2 hmmm damn impulsive shopping.
So did I. Good thing it happened when I was planning to get some stuff anyway.
