Stereo buttons

Post by Stenik » Fri Jan 03, 2014 9:13 pm

Hi All,

I replaced the LCD screen on the DSP mid unit today as it had suffered the usual loss of pixels. All went well and I now have a clear display, :) however what is no apparent is that the M Button, Left / Right Arrows and the several rocker buttons are not working!!!  :( Some work on one side only and some not at all.

I was unable to identify this before due to no display as it has never worked properly. Any ideas what I could try or has someone come across this?

To set the clock took me ages as the only button that worked to change the time was the minute + rocker button. Sore finger now as it was 1hr fast..

Had that myself...

First thought is the ribbon cable may not be connected correctly

Failing that you may have shorted something down to earth (did this myself).

You may need to strip the front end down again and check everything is in the correct place and not twisted / strained at all
If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....

But then I could be talking bollox.. O:-)
