Hello all!! I am trying to track down any information or anyone with experience with display card failure on a Tergo forte 250. I have had issues in the past with the ribbon cable from the TCU to the display card not having a good bite on the cable. I had issues last week of sporadic flickering, and then black (no power, no backlight, no characters). I reset the connector on to a fresh section of ribbon, and that solved it, only to fail again yesterday. Is this a connector issue in the TCU computer, or has my display gone out the door? I have some new connectors coming, and will try that before moving on to the whole card assembly. The new part 90275 is $1700 here in the states, but only $570 on Orange Parts (UK). I did notice the d-sub15 connector on the TCU has next to no tension when I plug in the ribbon cable from the display. Is this something as simple as a fuse on the 5v side of the truck? Any help or direction will be greatly appreciated! (If John in Amsterdam is still lurking on here, any insights? You were invaluable with assistance on my last repair!) Cheers, from the upper midwest US!

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
