Sports: Re: [DucatiST] Are the spiders messing with my LCD read out panel?

I wouldn't chunk it unless it looks like tank ran over it. Alot of magic boxes mysteriously come back to life!

I would keep it in a sealable bag with a dessicant bag in with it. If you have a gas oven with a pilot light, let it sit in there over night before putting it in the ziplock bag. Also put a huge sheet of paper over the control knob alerting the world to the fact that a very expensive piece of junque is incubating inside.

Cheers...Hopper

Under Denis' tutelage I/we replaced my LCD panel with one that he had handy. Everything works again.
The connectors were all very clean, the defective unit looked (cosmetically) like new. I opened it up out of curiosity (3 screws and break the glue seal) and stared at some silicon chips, which in turn stared back at me. So of course I couldn't 'see' anything wrong.

Does anyone fix these things at a reasonable/cheap cost? Or is this unit destined for the great scrap heap in the sky? It may be handy to have a working spare.

Anyway, happy now and what can I say about Denis that hasn't been said before? Ok, he has, as the French would say, that certain 'I do not know what'..

Thanks Denis!
