New owner here...finally joined in...beautiful game, extreme low play huo LE.
doing minor adjustment switch stuff...everything good.
Suddenly have noticed my compass LCD screen flickering. checked connections, changed VGA cable, no improvement.
Starting to think the 5v is intermittent (?). Flickering happens w flipper action but random. Ideas? Thanks

Fixed...bad driver board for LCD....( P/s actually 12v)...got assembly from JJP...great service. A little assembly required, but nothing tough
Quoted from Mikespinball:Not sure if it's the power supply. I would not think that on mine as I was able to pull out the playfield and with the LCD working I could tap around the display and it would flicker. I am assuming its possibly the ribbon cabling between the board and the display. Not sure how to fix this through.
Not the ribbon cable on mine...reseated everything ...tapping on the driver board ( under the LCD screen) was the giveaway...
Quoted from Mikespinball:So let me understand this correctly by rebuilding the power supply for the small LCD screen, the board under the screen itself, that fixed your screen flicker. Did JJP send you a kit for repairs I am assuming.
I identified the problem to be in the LCD driver board, which lives underneath the actual screen itself. They are connected by the mini ribbon cable. This forms the assembly, along w related nylon screws, housing, etc. Verifying, reseated everything first, then could easily replicate problem by tapping on the board.
Not sure which component on the board was intermittent, so purchased new screen and complete driver board from JJP.
Once new parts installed, display has been rock solid.
Not a difficult swap, just have to take care w the lacquered ribbon cable seating...
Hope that helped. Jim at JJP got me what I needed...
Quoted from Mikespinball:Thank you for the follow up. Were the two parts expensive to replace? Just hate the idea of having to pay for new parts so soon after I got the machine.
I think around $70 for both pieces plus freight...my panel was good, but bought it anyway to be safe....
Quoted from PinMonk:There should be a little daughterboard with tiny buttons that you can plug into the mini-monitor to make adjustments. Houdini had one for the stage monitor. Not sure if JJP shipped jjPotC with it.
Comes w replacement assembly...not sure if it was included w NIB, as I am the second owner of this pin ( wasn't included in machine transfer and he was super efficient at keeping everything)
Quoted from Mikespinball:Thought I would give an update on this that worked for me. I finely got around to look at the small apron display and its non-working (flashing) issue I was having. First of all I dislike to purchase new parts without trying to fix what I own. This issue just seemed to me to be a connection issue as the display would work, but tapping on the display/apron and/or flipping the flippers caused it to flash on/off. I did previously take it out and re-soldered the power connections without no change, so thought I would look at it one more time before calling JJP and ordering new parts. This time upon observation one of the small caps appeared to have missed being soldered completely in as you could see an open hole around its connection in the board. Re-flowed solder around all of these small caps, I think there are 3 or 4 of them. Reinstalled all parts and now the display works without any flashing issues. Problem solved!
Great job!!! I didn't dive that deep, but saved the problematic one....will certainly look closer.... a spare drive board can't hurt (is what I'll tell myself)...
