Hi there,
So I've been going over and over this thing, and can find nothing visually wrong with the board, or any of that, However, I do have a burned in pattern on the lcd screen. I'm thinking there is a chance it is the lcd itself that is bad. I have yet to find a way to make the machine do anything yet without the screen though. Should I be expecting to hear noises, beeps, relays, anything while manipulating the controls? does anyone know whether a burned in pattern on an lcd would be likely to render it completely unresponsive, rather than simply having like an outline when powered on, or even if there is a way of repairing it? I haven't been able to find a direct replacement yet, but if that's not the only problem, I'd just as soon not spend the money on it, either, so I'd prefer to have some confirmation.
Thanks!
