Check all your fuses on the main board to make sure that they haven't blown.

Also, contact empeg support

there isn't a fuse in main board! damn!!!

Sounds like it could be a display fuse. Is your unit under warranty? It's a fiddly surface mount component, not for the faint hearted or the ham fisted! Probably worth dropping David a line. You say you've taken your unit apart, did you disconnect you display board? If so, were you super careful when putting it back? Some of the early backlit button hackers accidentally put the display connector back off by one pin therefore blowing the fuse.
Support contact details are in the riocar.org FAQ. Hope everything works out...

The fuses are super small....

if i use QUIT option if i disconnect and reconnect unit from 12V it's power on and all works......
POWER OFF quir my unit and i can re poweron only via emplode !
bright is 50% again

pca where I can find to you now? I pray to you helps me!!!!!!

REMOTE NOT WORKING
i think that i need a new display board !!!!!!DAMN!!!!!!!

now i remember:
i have attatched 1° the display connector in this mode....
see photo attatched

Yup. If you attached it one off, which is what your diagram seems to show, you likely blew a fuse. Although your symptoms don't quite match what we've seen previously, check out My display has become garbled.

fuse is good!
i see very well my display letters are clear but his light is -50%

When the display goes dim, check if there is a 'dimmer' option in the settings menu. The player maybe thinking it is in the car after you bring the unit out of standby.

Have you checked all three fuses?

Does the remote work when the display is working at full brightness, or not at all?

Install 1.03 firmware without hijack.

all problem are present with 1.03 too!!

Q:When the display goes dim, check if there is a 'dimmer' option in the settings menu. The player maybe thinking it is in the car after you bring the unit out of standby.
A: there isn't a brigthness controll in SETTINGS menu.

Q:Have you checked all three fuses?
A: i have found only 1 fuse SMD near displayboard connector

Q:Does the remote work when the display is working at full brightness, or not at all?
A: yes before i opende my unit all was ok bright and remote and power off settings

Q:Install 1.03 firmware without hijack.
A: i have tried but all problen are present, before the unit was opened and workded good with b13+291.

i think that i need a new displayboard or main board or both..........damn

There are three fuses right next to each other. If you connected the display board offset by one pin then you have almost certainly blown one of them. If you're unlucky you may have taken out a component.

Either way it should be a simple service job - contact David. [email protected]

Great, now take care with those connectors in future. It sounds like you're experienced with electronics, and experienced people are always the worst for making the simple mistakes
