Carefully lift up the top half of the system. Be careful, there's a ribbon cable that connects the top and bottom half of the system.

Now remove the board from the housing.

Now put the batteries back into the compartment, so you can test the screen while you fix it.

Reconnect the the board to back housing with the ribbon cable.

You're now going to turn the contrast ( the slider on the left) all the way up, and take your soldering iron and gently move it back and forth on the ribbon cable below the screen.

You will start to see the lines of pixels fade in and out, keep moving your iron back and forth until screen is completely black.

Hi, this is the second time I attempt this fix, the first time it worked perfectly. The problem is that with this second machine there's a couple of pixel lines that have not tickled back to black even though I have been patiently going over them for quite some time (2 rounds of 10-15 min) is there anything else that I could try or should I just go on over the same area until I see something happen? Thanks in advance

Use this guide linked below understand where to place the iron under the screen. Step 4 doesn't seem to contain the proper images or details of this step here well enough.
