wonky led display on duo

[spudorange]

Received a couple of vu duo clones today.

Both have a wonky display on front panel, whichever image is used.

I have checked the ribbon cables but nothing helps.

Anyone have a solution please

thanks

when you say wonky, what is it they are doing?

start of text display is at bottom left of display
the end of the text is at the right hand top

as in, rising upward from left to right

when you say wonky, what is it they are doing?

Do the boxes work otherwise?

[cactikid]

has the box got water stains on board when you checked the ribbons?

you will have to take the lid off and then the front plastic panel which will expose the display gently twist it until straight and replace front and lid.

Be very careful when you twist it or you will need the soldering iron.

yh mine had similar problem. i just adjusted it back in place. there should be some holes which you should align the bottom of the display with.

I also had one like that. It all comes apart easily. just take your time. Then put it all back together. Easy fix

Remove screws, then pull out ribbon. Then remove the screen and front dial. Fix it all back in place and lined up correctly.

You will have to give the dial a good push so its fully back in place other wise when you put it all back on it won't move.

Not strange at all. I would say 80% of all clones that I have seen have this issue. On others the display wont come back on after being adjusted so my advice is to be extremely careful to anyone attempting to fix this.
