OGD internals? Now with reward! *SOLVED!!!*

[Senri]

I wanted to clean the internals of the Optical Gear Displays of my XT shifters as they were full of dust and had this "watch" moment. Opening up, a spring went flying! I was very lucky to find it again, but I have no idea were it should be (I know, there are actually only 3 parts... ). It is a sort of return spring for the indicator.
I was thinking of not using them, but I hate being forced not to, just because I can't reassemble them. So, my question is if someone has a exploded view, or a picture or anything so I can see how it is build up.

Thanks
Henri

no pics ,but depends on the model ,if you look at the indicator as it sits in the housing ,the hook part drives the indicator and the straight bit sits agaist the main casing ,it just helps it to the no1 side ,not a good description i know
but if you play with it you'll see

you could take another one to bits ,just to see

I thought the same, so I opened up the other one, and the spring already left its position before I could see it.....

If I ever had a reputation as a decent engineer, it is now certainly gone, but I really can't figure out. This is a pic of the display and the spring. I think the indicator is in the position it should be pushed to by the spring. It can't be anywhere on top of the indicator (black part) as the casing is too close to it. Somewhere left I guess?

Fantastic! Be careful...

i opened a deore one and the spring sits around the two parts on yours
to keep them away from each other
i need to pic it to show more clearly but it is different to yours
i have not got an avalable xt one to take to bits

not much help i'm sorry to say

pics to follow

Thanks anyway Mike. I might have come some XTR 952's coming, so that might shed some light on the case. If you are still able to post a pic, that would be great. Thanks for going through all the trouble of opening one up!
