Lilliput gone crazy

**spyhunter** · 06-15-2004, 09:44 PM

Well for those of you that haven't read my writeup on how to install the lilliput in the Tm701l housing then you probably should check it out to understand how i have everything setup.

So i'm driving the other day and noice that the lilly is all blurry. At first i thought it was my eyes going bad, but it turns out it really is blurry. If i smack the side of it, it clears up. Clearly a bad connection, accept i can't seem to find the problem. I pulled everything apart and found nothing wrong. Perhaps its that small din round connector thats causing it. Any ideas?

Damm thats so disturbing. Anyone own a lilliput and have it working more then a month or os?

I would just check all the connections. Did the also check the threads on that flat ribbon cable from lcd to controller?

I had to replace the 9 Pin connector when I first got the lilliput. Crappy 9 pin POS. Used a 9 pin serial connector and has worked great ever since. Entering month 2 with my fingers crossed.

I'll second that. That 9-pin mini DIN connector is nothing but trouble. I had a lot of problems with blurry displays that were caused by bad contacts on the mini DIN.

I agree with that. I have had similar problems from the mini din connector

samc, long time no see

the lilly is great screen for a great price but its not perfect and requires from massaging to get it right. I've had mine in since feburary and this is the first problem

my 9 pin din works great

I've had absolutely no problems with my lilliput

I cut out the connector and hardwired all the wires together. Perfect ever since (2 months or so). If you're gonna try it though, you should know that a couple of the wires aren't continuous, they cross at the connector (see this thread ).
