Who repairs these guys?

 

Wasn't either Mike Rainbird or Stu from MSD kicking Simon on this front? Or did they give up?

 

Screen fault by any chance?! Mines got a couple of lines missing, my dads went blank...

 

I read in another thread that replacement screens (even larger ones) can be bought to resolve these issues. Just trying to source one.

 

Mine is doing Japanese signs or nothing from time to time

Had a chat with a good mate and he told me if he could get the C code file and H file and what compiler is used he might be able to work on these

 

I done mine got screen from RS electronics and it can come in either green or blue

easy fix if your handy with a soldering iron

 

Anyone know this guy? Looking at an old thread, he had same issues and sourced a new LCD screen and swapped them over, resolving all the problems.

Why would I buy that when I have a Pectel monitor , I'm just repairing the SECS.

 

you running a P8??

 

L8 mate

 

ah has it had the mod to run the pectel.

 

Aye mate, runs on a Pectel board too.

 

superb

wouldn't mind that one MSD do that goes on the Laptop, the RP labs software, good for fault finding

 

well i was looking at getting the SECS for the escort, but the IECS looks like a lot better bit of kit. with warnings and buzzer "just" incase

 

IECS Does seem a great bit of kit it's just the size that puts me off

SECS is a perfect size! But you can't buy them new!

The SECS isn't ideal really, doesn't give really accurate readings, but gives you something which is better than nothing. The Pectel is the dogs

@ Tarren

Look above, you can see a link to purchase larger screens

 

Cheers mate

I will get looking for a decent SECS

Now i know the screen can be changed, As that seems the only problem everyone seems to have problems with! Cheap too! Keep us updated on how the fitting the new screen goes please.

Tarren

 

I thought the secs and iecs were the same size just in different housings and faceplates??

 

That part number was on my invoice for a green screen.

blue one is listed
