> Good news / Bad news.

> The upcoming Zilla site deloreanparts.com

> The bad news ?
> Sites not up just yet but the home page is.
> If you would like the manual, post me there.
> The email function of the site is working.

> Having been Factory Service Mgr for Craig Car Stereo in the late 70's, I
> can tell you that the ribbon cable that feeds the display has a hairline
> sheer.
> I am inclined to agree with David T. (vin 10757)
> The everage tech will have great difficulty attempting to repair this flex
> cable. It can be repaired but requires EXTRAORDINARY skill to properly
jump
> the traces on the flex PC. There is a detailed post on this in the DML
> archives tech area.
> However, 1 key point was NOT addressed. If you are successful at
repairing
> the ribbon cable it will break again.

> The problem:
> YOU MUST reroute the flex cable OVER the top hinge bar that the display
hangs
> on instead of under it. By routing it OVER the bar, when the cassette door
> opens inward it won't kink the cable. It will flex in a graceful arc.
> The down side:
> The cable itself becomes a quater inch shorter and might not reach the
> plug. This depends on the revision of the main radio board and the plug's
> exact placement.
> At this point the hard work is done and extending the flex cable's leads
to
> meet the plug is fairly easy.
