I had read were the LCD's on older Ratheon (Raymarine) instruments/autopilots etc could be replaced, I thought I'd try replacing mine on a ST7001+ unit that the LCD was blacking out.
I ordered the part online from here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LCD-Replacement-for-ST7000-ST7001-ST8001-Raymarine-Autohelm-Display/283656909733?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649.
It was about $160 delivered and took me about 30 minutes to replace. Since a new Autopilot is about $2k, this should let me kick that can down the road a while! Came with excellent instructions with color pictures. Covered what was needed and what not to do!
Center of LCD discolored and unreadable.
Unit disassembled
LCD Holder assembly removed
Bare LCD removed from the holder
Old and New LCD
Unit reassembled and powered on.
