Not all 497s use the 14-pin LCD!

Follow this link for detailed information on the Autostar 497 versions: http://www.weasner.com/etx/autostar/as_schematic.html

This LCD is a replacement for the 14-pin display. Ribbon cable is 15mm wide (0.6in)

Same size and color as the original Autostar display. White characters with red background. (red background is from the unit's built in backlight that is not changed)

Bonus! This LCD uses copper traces instead of the silver painted junk tracings on the original Autostar 497. The silver paint dries up and cracks over time where the ribbon cable bends.  That will never happen with copper trace! 

Also works in the AudioStar

This DOES NOT WORK in the 494
I have tested it on the 494 P/N 15-8003-00 Rev E and it did not light up at all

AutoStar II

Just thought we'd drop you a note and inform you that your LCD display module for the Meade hand controllers works perfectly in an Autostar II had controller. Only wrinkle is you need to put a 1n4148 signal diode across a filter capacitor in the contrast control circuit. Otherwise "it won't light up". Details are in a Cloudy Nights forum (excerpt attached).

Envío en 9 días naturales a España.
He reemplazado el display de un autostar II... y perfecto, encaja a la perfección y vuelve a funcionar como el primer día.
Muy fácil de instalar. Lo único que al ser un autostar II se debe soldar el diodo 1N4148 como se indica.

Un saludo,

AWESOME!!!
I could not be more pleased! The folks at Buttonworx diagnosed, repaired, and quickly returned my hand controller for a very, very reasonable price! I will be posting my experience with them on the telescope websites that I use! Perfect transaction from start to finish! 5 stars!!!

Excellent communication and service. Replacement display saved my faulty hand controller...I nearly threw away until I discovered this company. From order to delivery to the UK 6 days. Amazing. Good packaging. Will spread the word. Thank you.
