Fixing burned autopilot screen

[sailingunity]

I have a Comnav NX2 autopilot on my boat, and everything functions perfectly except the screen has gotten burned enough to where it is unreadable. Rather than buying a new autopilot, I took the screen apart and pulled the polarizers off the glass - the tinted polarizer on the front it seems you can buy, but my problem now is sourcing the transflective polarizer. Has anyone done this before, where might I be able to find one?

I called Comnav and they do not supply any spare parts as this product line is discontinued.

Hi, Have you solved it? I have the same problem...

Try here:

If you Google try with transflective polariser film.
If you provide the potential supplier with the old polarizer they may be able to assist even better.

Good luck.

My vintage Humminbird Fish Finder (Depth) Finder did the same thing.

I found a replacement on EBay that was exact for around $30. (but kept the old one for parts)

All I had to do was calibrate it with the buttons on the front panel and it worked perfectly. I used the same base so no rewiring was needed either.
