Hi,
THis is the screen I have : http://store.mp3car.com/PhotoGallery...=2#largerphoto
I have the screen getting its power from a 150 W opus. It has worked fine for 1.5 years +...
Heres how it started... One morning I started to drive for work... hit the power button on the screen and nothing happens, I heard the PC start..
I was late for work so didnt bother to mess with it, tried re-starting the pc a couple times... but no luck on the screen.
So in the evening when I was driving back tried it again and it worked.
Again the next day the screen didnt power on... that evening it didnt power on either... then after 2 days of not powering on it came on... one last time.
So this weekend I was going to pull out everything and check the wiring..
I get in the car to pull the screen out and check the wiring.... The screen had fallen by 2 inches from the dash... where its mounted, and when i opened the dash the wire that goes into the button's from the screen had come off... So i thought thank god its an easy fix...
So i put the wire back in and try it again...guess what still nothing on the screen... tried it a few times... still nothing on the screen...![]()
I checked the rest of the wires and they all are ok...
What do I do.........![]()
one of the ribbon cables is broken...
it has come off from where it was soldered...
is this fixable ?
thanks
If you can find an extremely skilled solder person.
Post pics, it might not be too bad, but a cut ribbon cable is usually a bad sign. If it is still long enough, you might be able to cut it, and then scrape away the contacts so that you can re seat the cable in the connector. But, it all depends. A replacement might be in order.
Pics would make things easier.

...I love the French language...especially to curse with...Nom de Dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperies de connards d'enculés de ta mère. You see, it's like wiping your *** with silk, I love it.
I gave the screen to the guy that fabricated the dash...
He said he will fix it.....
Is there a place to buy the replacement cables ?.... Sorry about not having the pics...
thanks
