Hi, I have been looking into how to get rid of the non-genuine screen message when replacing the 11 and up series. I believe I can do the repair, however, I have found out that you can’t do it with an aftermarket screen, only originals. iFixit screens are probably the closest to the original that you can get so that’s the only reason I’m asking. Does anyone know or has anyone tried?
Yes, all the information is on the touch IC. Some refurbers sell refurbished displays without the touch IC, so you can remove yours, clean ,reball, then attach. It is a bit fiddly if you’re not used to this type of work. JVC programmer only transfers Truetone over, not the serialised data.
I myself haven’t done it in my shop yet but I believe you need to transfer over one of the circuit chips from the old screen to the new one. From my own experience, some aftermarket screens won’t show the message while others will. But even if you source an OEM screen and swap them you still get the message unless you can either program the new one or, as I mentioned before, transfer over the circuit chip.
If you have both the old and new(OEM or aftermarket) , you can use the JC V1S($60 on eBay) to copy the old screen’s serial number to the new screen, thus retaining all of the features of the old screen.
