KK2 Screen Display Not Working

[earthsciteach]

Shortly after powering up my KK2, the display screen went blank. Apparently, this is a fairly common problem. This does not appear to be the contrast issue. I suspect that the board itself is fine as the menu buttons seem to be functioning.

I've removed and reseated the ribbon cable with no success. Seems like a replacement LCD would be a good thing, but is not available from HK. I've seen some potential replacement screens posted on various forums, but no one has actually pulled the trigger on them, yet.

The screen has a 20 pin ribbon cable and the screen is 31 mm x 15 mm. Anyone have an idea of a possible replacement or had success replacing one?

Think I may have found it.

Sorry, couldn't help myself with that Fred impression. It depends on what I hear back from the mfr. I don't know that I want to send it to FM now that he is in need of another one with his new Bat Bone. He may claim it got lost in shipping or something...
