CZ-101 problem - all lights on, blank display. no sound

2012-10-04 by scituate_mass

Hey everyone,

Just got around to trying to fix a broken CZ-101 that was given to me some time back. It powers up, but all the lights come on (and stay on), the screen is blank except for some gray bars, and there is no sound (not suprisingly).  I tried hitting reset to no avail.

I saw another post (on Youtube) where someone else described the same exact problem. Has anyone else encountered this?

I'm also curious about the connector ribbon cable between the main board and the power/amp board (JH on the schem). Pins 15 and 16 have continuity on mine, but it looks like they are supposed to be isolated. I can't find a bridge. If anyone else has a unit open, could you please check this for me?

Thanks - DT
