Central Display- not working

[bigwinn]

Hopefully the final issue to solve on the project

Fingers crossed

The central pop up display: pops up fine, motor and case are good. Have taken it out of the car and tested it in Steves car- works perfectly.

In the project car there is no display on the screen, however when I unplug it and plug it back in I can see the screen change very slightly suggesting current is getting to it OK

As I am happy with the unit being in working order, what do we think the next steps are to sort?

The screen cable goes all the way back to the navigation computer which is the source. Is the navigation unit spinning up ok?

 

[bigwinn]

Good shout

Let me check

 

[bigwinn]

Checked. All connected.

 

[bigwinn]

And spinning up ok

Two choices, other screen to test with your computer or other computer to test your screen

 

[bigwinn]

Time to borrow Steve’s car again

And spinning up ok

Is there a disc in it?

 

[bigwinn]

Yep

Note that there is nothing at all on the display- so no radio/bluetooth menu at all

Otherwise I’d reload the v32 disc

Have you tried another radio head unit

Hmmm. I’m not sure what goes where? Does the screen have a different input or does it get input from the head unit?

Have you checked the earth?
:exitright:

 

[bigwinn]

I’m not answering that

Screen goes to computer, radio goes to computer. Computer seems the central point

Screen goes to computer, radio goes to computer. Computer seems the central point

Computer as in nav computer? I think I have a spare in the shed

 

[pvr]

Yep, that is the brain that controls the radio and the screen

 

[bigwinn]

Yep, that is the brain that controls the radio and the screen

Righto! Cheers bud

 

[bigwinn]

Yep, that is the brain that controls the radio and the screen

Respect- you know your stuff

Sorted by installing the garage spare

Great news, having retrofitted a couple of these helps, but glad it wasn’t another massive search for a fault
