P3 Issue

[Ken Widelitz-2]

P3 stopped working. When turned on, the entire screen flashes from red to
green to blue to blank to grey to checkerboard to grey and then cycles
through those screens again, etc. I have done a reinitialization by holding
down the Label key while turning on the power. Nothing changes.

Could the P3 be in DispTest mode?

Select Menu, the rotate the knob to ;this setting. Needs to be Off for normal use.

You could first check if you get stable connection using the
PX3-utility. If that does not work, it could be an unstable power supply
issue (0,5A ~12V required).

Otherwise I suppose there is a loose connection inside of the P3. You
could check the cable from the main board to the display. The manual has
a section about replacing the display with useful pictures (fig 25&26).
