IDC Cable to Display - 11/10/2005 18:01
Greetings. Long time MK2 owner here. Recent lurker.
My Empeg has given me trouble free useage for a LONG time. The display recently quit working. I opened it up and the IDC cable that is connected to the display came apart. These are tricky to crimp back on. I was careful and got it back together with a little super glue. Now when I power it on the screen is garbled as if the display fuse has blown.
Do I get a new display with the cable already on it and solder new surface mount display fuses, or do I just replace the fuses and hope that I put the cable back together correctly?
This has been in a 4x4 since its purchase new, years ago, so its taken some vibration in its life.
Any and ALL advices would be greatly appreciated.
Keith
