RE: [chromapolaris] Help with moving forward with this Polaris

2017-03-31 by nuwavboy@...

Thanks for the help on this Paul -

Where it stands now -

powers up, but lights come on, most of them, turn off and back on, different lights come on..etc...but mainly all to most lights come on and are non-responsive

The left side panel has had the ribbon connector extended out from the circuit board, its done well, I checked for continuity and connections are good.

Right side panel is cracked on both pigtails. I tried cutting back and using acetone, but they cracked again, there's not much left, can't really make the bend anymore. I could attempt to solder wires to it, I do have a temp controlled iron and could try it on low wattage, but....

So I'm stuck - do I throw good money after bad? I'm in it for 400$, then another 300$ for 6 CEM3372 and 1 CEM3374, then another 200$+ for a new membrane panel...

Do I sell it for parts? 5 CEM3374, 50$ a pop...I hate to see something like this turned into a carcass, but I'm afraid of what else may lurk underneath. My gut tells me a new membrane panel and new CEM's will fix it right up, but...
