[Elecraft] K2 LCD and Backlight assembly problems

[Bruce Forsberg]

OK, this is my second attempt to get this message through the mail list.

I purchased a K2 kit (SN 7973) in November 2020 and just received it a week
ago or so. I am trying to install the LCD and backlight and am having
problems. The LCD sits too high and the pins sit just above the top solder
pads. They don't go into the holes at all. Yes I can solder from the top
but this will make a poor solder connection.  Also the reflector is loose
and moves around the backlight lens does not pinch it against the PC board.
I am assembling with the Revised LCD and Backlight Assembly instructions
Rev K2LCD-1, May 24 2018.

I would like to know if anyone else has had similar problems and what the
solution is. My next step is to contact Elecraft support but would like to
hear from the user community first. I have pictures but they did not go
through with my first mail attempt.

Thanks,
