lcd pro 7 issue

[Maicol_Borghetti]

just after a couple of months ago I upgrade my red one to MX sensor..
very happy with the result. I shot a short on it just a week ago.
today I turn on the camera on location for a shot and this is the result:

I already open a ticket with red but in your experience what is this???
LCD died?

I checked the lcd cable with a tester and it's ok.
I attached another monitor to camera via HDMI and work well.

did you have any similar issue?

Just to inform the 200 friends that read this post without writing nothing...
I can confirm that the problem is on the LCD and that a rough estimation from RED headquarters talk about 1800 USD. much more than the item value...
LCD = DIED FOREVER... F**K!!!!

Sorry to hear that!

Waw.......very bad news!!!....a second hand 7" LCD is no more than $800, go to marketplace or ebay and get your replacement.

Talk to Jacek from Optitek. I think he's fixed some of these before.

Failing that, get a local competent electronic engineer to take a look. It may be fixable, or it may be possible to source a replacement screen for less than $1800!

Hi,
did you fixed that problem? Maybe I can help. Just let me know. I had the same problem and could fix the issue for under 500$.

How did you repair it? I need to get mine fixed...

Have you tried unplugging and replugging it? Seems like a common problem most of us have to go thru. This method has worked for me 100%. Also check how do you have it set up in menu? Menu/Settings/display/monitor control. There is a method of cycling the lcd which I've read in one of these threads.
