Holy crap.... I think it worked... here is the deal

I had some lilliput spare parts one of which was the controller like pictured in the first post. This one consistantly gave a white screen of death. The good thing about this controler was the little clip that held the ribbon cable was fully funtional

Now i have another lilliput that is know to work except the afformentioned part had a broken clip which is less than ideal for a sunvisor screen. Every time i would pull the sun visor down the image would flicker until it got way to untable to even use.

So my solution was to switch controllers... I switched and i got a white screen of death no matter what i did or how i positioned the ribbon cable. Then took the working on with the broken clip and measured the resistance between the point in question and it was 0 so i felt okay about jumping that componant on the broken one. As soon as i did boom.... it worked

JCD YOU ROCK!!!
