SmallHD 702 not powering up

[Daniel John]

Hi all-

Just went to turn on my 702 and it's not powering on. Used it about a week ago and it was fine. Been stored in a padded
Pelican since then. Tried 4 fully charged different batteries and nothing. Screen just stays black and there's no response.
Anyone have any experience with this or any ideas to troubleshoot? Worked amazing with no issues since I got it about
a year ago up until today.

Thanks in advance.

Daniel

Update: It is powering on, the screen is just black. My assistant applied pressure with his fingers on the left side of the screen and the picture comes up. Releases pressure and it goes back to being black. Any thoughts?

Okay, so my AC is much smarter than me. He took apart the monitor and the ribbon cable had come loose from the connector on one side. He was able to
push it back in so all the contact points were hitting and then seal the monitor back up. Said he had done similar with iPhones before. Problem solved. Wish
I was more electronically inclined sometimes.

Also be aware that the same can happen with Sony L battery contacts on the 70x serie,
it's quite easy to fix but if the monitor doesn't power up when using Sony L batteries,
just open it up and meticulously check all 6 contact points for the 2 Sony NP-F batts.

Cheers!
