Slion 1,200 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) I recently swapped the screen assembly of two broken Pro1s to get one working. To access the screws at the back of the display you need to remove those stickers covering them. Now I was wondering if replacing those stickers with slightly thicker rubber pads would help with rattling when the phone is closed. Then I found those guys that could produce something usable for that application: https://www.rhnuttall.co.uk/pads/rubber-pads/ Looks like they could produce 0.8mm thick neoprene rubber pads for this application. Just have to give them the proper diameter. Some one mentioned 5mm diameter stickers were fitting just fine. We could measure that again to be sure. I reckon I'll ask them for a quote.

Slion 1,200 Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) I just sent them an enquiry. Edited July 2, 2020 by Slion 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskeRahn 5,399 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I added some 0.5mm pads at various places, so 0.8mm inserted over the screws sounds right. I like the idea. 👍 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jordi 72 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 What about self bounding rubber tape (0.8 mm. thickness) or clarinet mouthpiece pads, cut with scissor or this tool, for ex.? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually I just ordered similar hole punchers tools. Then just have to find the proper material. Delivery in September, I guess not 🙂 Edited July 2, 2020 by Slion 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slion 1,200 Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) 2mm neoprene. I'll try with those 3 for a while they should flatten over time, they are really squishy. Just setting up those three is fixing any rattling when closed. Edited July 3, 2020 by Slion 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slion 1,200 Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 5mm hole punch does the job just fine then you can try any material you want. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slion 1,200 Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 I did some trials with various materials and thickness. If you just want to cover the screws any black tape will do. If you want to get ride of the rattling while closed you probably need 2mm squishy foam on every corner of the screen. Nothing else would do for me. I tried 1mm hard rubber in seven emplacements, including the four corners and the two screws in the middle and that does not help at all with the rattling. I've settled with 2mm rubber foam on every corner and 1mm hard rubber for those two screws in the middle. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DieBruine 397 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Use Sugru. It's a hassle to remove, but not impossible. You can shape it in any form and thickness you like. It does not shine and can be used for dampening... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MickH 211 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 If you have a nice sharp craft knife and a steady hand 2mm single sided draught excluder tape will also do the job. Much like Slion's suggestion really. I've actually used the same stuff for making the rubber door seals on large scale model cars. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can easily find mats of various thickness on e.g. ebay. Search for "adhesive neoprene" (or rubber) and you will find it offered as mats or bands in various thickness. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OKSun 103 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) I have been reading the following post: I understand that the tape should be pasted there?? EskeRahn had suggested another location at the begining (see picture). Edited August 6, 2020 by OKSun 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
