Got a lilliput LCD screen that looks fine
When i power it up the controler board led lights up then all fine.
Turn it on and the fcc cable goes brown.
Any ideas on what causes this?

The one that has snaped this the one between the controler and glass
The burning bit is the white cable from the small pcb to the large pcb

You still have the large control board? I think I static zonked mine because I can't get power to the board.
Never Mind
Problem solved!
EVERYONE: CHECK THE ORINTATION ON THOSE FFC CABLES BEFORE YOU GO OUT AND GET ANOTHER ONE ( thanx ACE!)
I was bound and determined to get this thing working tonight to meet my superbowl deadline and I found the problem. I first lightly filed the FFC from the button panel to the mian controller board. Then I noticed there were 14 pins on the connecter on the button panel. There are only 13 pins on the cable. You have to make sure you have the cable going into the right set of pins.if you have the wrong one open the entire LCD will not operate.
I was certain the controller board was zonked. ACE suggested that I check the cables again. I had already took my meter to them and I was getting values on both ends of the cable so I ruled it out.
Ace suggested that I check at the back of the connecters instead. I kept getting problems at those end leads. So I lightly filed the cable. Nothing... then I counted the leads and that's when I noticed that there was one more lead on the connecter than the cable. So I tried it on one side, nothing.. tried it on the otherside and, Vóila! A working LCD!
