I shall be posting a review of my new portable NES console, the FC Mobile soon.
However, I had to do a minor repair to it already. You know how electronics that have LCD screens have those removable protective films over the bezel that sits over the LCD? Well the FC Mobile had one, as evidenced by the air bubbles on the surface. So I proceeded to remove it.....
...and let me tell you, it was very difficult. My FC Mobile unit is actually a slightly used model, used to the point where it still had it's factory packaging, unused AV out cable, and the screen protector film was never removed. I'm not sure why, but this screen protector was really stuck on good, and it kept tearing as I tried to pull it off.
It was stuck on so well that as I was struggling to remove it, the entire plastic bezel pulled free from the casing!
I have since repaired it using a drop of super glue. But I'm still wondering why that screen protector was so hard to remove. The air bubbles indicated that it should be removed as with most other new electronics that have similar protectors and there was nothing saying otherwise that it shouldn't be removed.
