JoeCamaro 11 Posted March 30, 2008 I think it has to do with the motherboard, again I THINK> Did you do a search for LCD, screen or motherboard? Do that. Welcome to the forums. You will see this will be fixed real fast. Joe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
showaride 0 Posted March 30, 2008 I did a search but now answers. If someone can point me in the right direction. The cutter runs with SB but none of the buttons work. I just set it up and am new to all this. I figure it has to be an easy fix since I can cut fine but can use the lcd at all just online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mustangconv85 0 Posted March 30, 2008 when you press the online button does it do anything how about the reset button Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
showaride 0 Posted March 30, 2008 when I push the online button it shows the version and go throght some number real quick then displays online, same thing with reset. Should I open the panel on the side of the LCD? I have read something about loose wires from shipping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kenimes 42 Posted March 31, 2008 that would probably be the first thing Ken at Tech support will tell you to do. He will also tell you that it won't affect the warranty Yep, exactly. You can open the unit to investigate the connections to the motherboard. Located on the right side of the bottm panel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xmenop 0 Posted April 28, 2008 I have the same problem as well, already replaced motherboard for previous problems along with powersupply. Then lcd went nuts, if I take the screws out of the lcd board, it works again. So it is taped on top of pcut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BannerJohn 1,324 Posted April 28, 2008 Not sure how the thing actually looks but if that is the case,it soulds like something is shorting something out. Have you tried removing one screw at a time to see if maybe one screw is touching something it shouldn't? You might also place some O rings between the screws and the cutter and tighten the screws down slowly,see at what point the thing stops working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
