| Subject: | AOG in Florida--Need an assist |
Folks the Display Unit for my Vertical Power VP-200 has died, at least partially.
If I cycle the power I can see the very very faint VP-200 startup logo and
the startup systems check annunciations (they are so faint as to be illegible
but I know what they are) but then a blank screen with the Soft Key label boxes
barely visible but the labels themselves are illegible. The DU seems to still
be controlling power pins and the control unit and the switch panel all seem
to be functioning fine although it's impossible know 100% for sure without
a full-up display.
Does anyone have a Display unit I could borrow/rent/buy, at least to get me home?
I'll be here at Pompano Beach until July 1st and across the state over in
Fort Myers until July 9th (so I'd like to get it fixed by then) I'll pay for
overnight shipping. Email me at tsts4us AT gmail dot com or text/call me 703-595-5453.
Thanks!

Hey Todd,
I don't have a VP-200 screen but I live close by at 64FA. I'll be home on the 28th
or so. I have a bunch of tools, if you need anything let me know.
Sounds like the backlight in your screen is out. If you can source the lcd screen
or even just the backlight I can repair it for you.

Thanks Lenny -- if I can't a new DU or backlight I might need some help with some
tools and 14-20 ga wire as I'm already working a worst case back-up plan to
bypass the CU and get power to all of the necessary systems required to safely
get home.

Lenny,
If I open the DU's case, is the backlight or screen part numbers something I could
identify without an electronic's background?

The backlight is usually inside the lcd frame, on the side. Try to get the part
number from the LCD then you can see the size of the backlight, and order an
aftermarket replacement.
There's a remote possibility of the inverter being bad, which is the driver of
the backlight. Usually the backlight burns out though.
