Well I'm looking for a replacement LCD. It is the Hitachi TX18D11VM1CAA. Know of any places to get it from?

So it sounds more like a brown FCC connection issue rather than the small Hitachi board itself?

$75 is better than $200 for a brand new unit.
 
Hmm before you go buying a new one few more things

1) The white fcc cable, any burn makrs on it?
2) White fcc, any tiny tiny cracks?

if you really think its broke and theres no chance of getting it to work plug it all in over again and push the connectors in as far as possible then while its on move the lcd / pcb mini 1 and see if theres any change in the display.

digitalww.com sold me a replacment lcd
 
I emailed digitalww today about getting the LCD and/or the mini-pcb connected to it.


I recieved my copy lens a couple of days ago and my light kit should be coming sometime this week I hope. Also waiting for my optics from Ace. I cant wait to start building!

Everyone make sure you are extra careful with your LCD. In fact, don't even mess with it until you need to. I found that out the hard way 🙁
 
Just recieved my optics from ace and they are beautiful. Still no response from digitalww about the LCD.

I should be able to set up my test bed this weekend and start building next week....without an LCD 🙁

Anyone know how far way these parts should be from each other?

Digitalww said they could get me a new LCD for 110 shipped. I guess thats my only option for now. If I break this one, I am afraid that I will have to scrap the project.

So what precautions should I take to make sure I do not break this one?
 
Construction has begun

Alright so I've started to put things together and here is what I have so far. By the way, the new LCD came in and it works! 🙂 I have put it down now until the end of the project.


Here is the start of the box..

Made some more progress today. I went out and got a dremel circle cutter to cut the circles.

Here are the pics...none of the sides are screwed in btw..

Questions? Comments? Concerns? Anyone?
