andrew@meler.us Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I have an Indus GT drive in near mint condition, however couple of bars on the LED panel (where the drive status/sector info is displayed) don't light up. Has anyone attempted to fix this on their drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone attempted to fix this on their drive? Have you tried to find out whether the dispay itself is faulty or if it's the circuit that controls it?

Bikerbob Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 If you search back through the threads I went through this about 8 months ago. It is more than likely the LEDs are not getting good connection to the board. There is also the possibility that it is the ribbon cable to the main board. I removed and installed it so many times trying to fix it, that I wrecked the cable.. then had to fashion a new cable.. that was not fun. My point is.. the more you play with it, the more that can go wrong, so be careful, that board and cable were not designed to be connected and disconnected a lot.

andrew@meler.us Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 Thanks guys, sounds like it's not worth the trouble. Other than the LED the drive is mint condition, I'll just leave it as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
