Re:Standard Horizon CP150 - no display - 2009/07/16 21:14
I just went through this. And by 'just', I mean 10 minutes ago. Since my cp150 is long out of warranty and I'm the third owner, I figured I had nothing to lose so I opened the case. 4 phillips head screws and one 15/16" socket later, I had it open. I didn't undo the antenna fitting, so be careful when opening as there's a cable attached to the board. What I found was the main ribbon cable (top center, about 3/4" wide) had come undone and was half hanging there. They use locking ribbon connectors and mine was half unlocked. I unlocked it (pull the brownish/grey part away from the black bit) pushed the ribbon cable back in, and locked it. Applied power and it was on and ready to go!
Naturally, this is all hearsay, I am not a professional, your mileage may vary, usual disclaimers, etc yadda. But I figure if it worked for me, it might work for somebody else trying to repair a dead GPS with a white screen.
