Screen not working after replacement (Mono SE)
I’ve recently received a Mono SE as a hand-me-down, and it’s been a bit of a fixer-upper. The film and tape both had to be replaced, and that got it working for a while, but now I’ve been having trouble with the screen.
I tried replacing it, and made the admittedly rookie mistake of plugging the ribbon cable into the adapter backwards. I’m uncertain of whether that caused the further issues, but that screen is no longer working.
Since then, I’ve replaced both the screen (again), as well as the motherboard, but the screen still appears fully lit during detection tests (as opposed to showing a solid rectangle).
I’ve also tried updating the firmware, but that hasn’t helped either. I’m unsure of where to go from here.
I’d really like to get it working after sinking almost the cost of a new printer into fixing this one. Has anyone had problems like this that they were able to solve?
