right on, this seems to be the issue when taken apart. check all the connections. The egg didn't work? Can you try and hook it up using the AV RCA's to your dvd player in home or something to see if its the vga portion thats the problem, or the entire unit. I know all this sounds basic, but with this freaking unit, its a must cause they suck. I'm still crossing my fingers hoping I don't have any weird problems with mine.

***** bro, i hear you. Uh not too much of a lili expert, but I'v been troubleshooting hardware for years. There are several bulitens on that ribbon cable you described. some guys just cleaned it up, while others stated that by taking the unit apart it snaped something on the cable????This is a common problem, do a dsearch for lili's here, I can't remember specificly, but those cables are very sensitive and alot of people inevertantly break them. I'd help more but i have a mid shift. I'll check back later. Go out side, smoke a cigarette, or pop in a good movie, take a break, cause it will get to you and you'll end up making some sort of mistake. maybee even put it away for tonight, do some reaserch tommorow and brainstorm and then jump at it. yes, even if you have to drive around with a big hole in your dash. I'v been there too.
Good luck, also, try and pm armin and get his advice.

Its Fried :-(

how you know its fried? this is the other guy that came over today. i was reading your topic and was like ooo damn my friend is in the same position then i figured it was you.

hey antimatter sorry bro ill try to type str8 im not used to it but here it goes... Well I tried to do a auto power on by taking pin 5 and 8 and running them together as a loop but it did not work. i did it at the main board so if it was the control unit or the control unit ribbon it would have turned on but it did not. i emailed the guys that i got it from lets see what happens for now i pronounce it FRIED CHICKEN. whats weird is that it did not spark or make a buzz sound or any thing like that just on off on off and its gone. i talked to a lilliput worker here in la and he said send it to the reseller u got it from and they can fix it for no charge since its under warrenty. lets see what happens -bill
