Well, after four long days the install in the S2000 has been completed. The results were well worth it. It is still a shame that it took two MKII units to get one to work so we could get this install wrapped up. The whole thing still leaves me wondering WTF could have happened and how a display board got damaged. Maybe I do have bad luck. Who knows.
Either way I took the balance of the parts and put mine back together. Now my friend gets to cruise around with a working one while I got this one sitting here worthless. LIttle jerk even wants me to hook up a wireless upload option and some remote meters for his phoenix gold octane. Uggh, cars... cars... cars.... Time to admit to the loss and send this one in and eat the $300 I guess.
BTW- I checked the nipples with the FAQ, compared the two display boards and both of them (even the one that works) has the little black blurred area on the bottom right hand corner. So maybe it isn't the nipple like I thought. The only visible difference being one clearly works the other one doesn't. So, whatever it is on this display board I assume I'll be needing a new one and I should get it replaced ASAP. I'll contact David directly. Thanks for all your help guys.
Thanks in advance.
