loss of LED on graphtec ce 5000/60

[Stafford Cox]

Hi Brian. Has the machine been moved at all lately? There’s a small flex cable that goes from the mainboard to the control panel that has a tendency to remove itself.

Hi Stafford thanks for getting back to me .Just in this last 15 minutes the display has come back on could it have just been cold ? weve been -7 up here for a few weeks at nights and ive been doing a lot more traditional signwriting and not using it so much until today

Mine has the same issue, could only be viewed from a very low angle. Graphtec said they don’t fail but sent me a new ribbon flex, changed it over and it’s a little better. Not convinced, the display could still be failing after all it’s 10yrs old.
