    Default Nomad repair help needed.

    Has anyone had a malfunctioning Nomad AND successfully repaired it? My unit simply doesn't want to "boot up". The backlight comes on, and there are a few static crackles from the speaker, but it never gets up and runs. The cartridge connector has been cleaned quite a bit, but to no avail.

    Does this sound familiar? Any tips for things to look for? Common faults in Nomad hardware?

    BTW, this is running on AC input, so it's not a battery issue.

    Thanks!

    I don't usually bump my own threads, but I'm REALLY needing some help on this.

    I'd suspect the ribbon cable that goes to the screen.

    Problem is, that ribbon cable is directly soldered to the screen PCB. IF it's at foult, you've got a parts Nomad there.

    Disassemble and make sure all removable ribbon cables are well seated. All molex connectors are connected.

    Be careful. That screen can give you a painful jolt.

    Guess how I know that?
