Picked up a couple 180c units. Both are actually pretty mint. Pulled one apart, everything looked great so proceeded to recap and fix any broken screw mounts while disassembled. This one unit the display housing / mounts were perfect, unreal. I did epoxy around them to help strengthen them though. After recapping the one i was having weird display issues. So i pulled lcd off and checked my caps. One was loose, so fixed that. I also cleaned both sides of the pcb while doing initial recap.
Tried lcd again, was better but still not right. So decided to take other 180c apart and try lcd in there, works perfectly.
So now i have to figure out what’s happening. I tried different inverter. Both of the inverters are recapped. Same issue.
Tried different interconnect board, same issue.
So that leaves the other little board that connects to interconnect board, and display cable. The display cable has no obvious signs of damage. I cleaned both ends with isopropyl.
Any ideas? Probably the cable which stinks.
