 Posted: Sun Oct 05, 2014 8:32 pm Post subject: No display on PA1X |
 |
|
The display screen is black on my PA1X. When powered on the hard drive starts and within a minute or so the leds come on and I can play the piano so I know everything is working except for the display. I've adjusted the contrast button both ways and it makes no difference.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

| Already done. Took the top off to see if I could see something obvious such as a blown fuse. No luck. Willing to try any suggestions you have. |

I had problems with mine - the screen would intermittently change without touching it.
I ended up having to tighten the frame the held the screen in but in your case I wondered if it might be a connection/cable issue or if in fact the screen itself has died.
If you decide to remove the screen itself, please take great care and ensure you have an anti-static device attached etc...
Take photos as you progress so that you can replace everything correctly when putting it back together.
I decided to go ahead and try to fix mine as the best quote I had for a replacement screen was $1,000 (without labour!!)
Good luck
Hope you find a solution.
Pete

I will give these suggestions a try. I'm in the hospital for a week or so for a heart procedure but I'll try them when I get home. Will let you know if I have any success.
If there is anyone else with similar problems then I would appreciate any and all suggestions.
