Hi Friends, Over the weekend I decided to see about getting my "parts" 180c up and running. I purchased it with a pre-existing screen condition alongside a 180, and although I combined its best bits with my other 180c to make a single, very nice unit, this one is complete and really not too shabby either. Its plastic faults have all been JB Welded and it's been completely recapped. I'd hoped they later might rectify the screen stability issue, but alas, no such luck. Here's what it's doing:
A few observations:
1. The screen is briefly stable at initial power-on and may stay that way for as long as a few minutes.
2. Swapping the inverter boards from my good 180c doesn't improve anything.
3. I've metered the ribbon cable and it's fine
I suspect something internal to the screen, but before I crawl down the service manual hunt, metering & scoping rabbit hole, I figured I'd ask if anyone has seen something similar and resolved?
