Re: [Elecraft] PX3 Screen Issue [clarification on repair/replacement]
Wayne said ~$100 for the LCD. Support claimed I had to buy the LCD and front panel board together as 1 unit. I'm asking what is it?

Re: [Elecraft] PX3 Screen Issue [clarification on repair/replacement]
John, If the part costs $500, I don't know how you could get it repaired for $100! Good luck. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/26/2018 10:12 PM, John_N1JM wrote: Hi Wayne: Recently I had a problem with my PX3.

Hi John, Reliability of the PX3 front panel circuit board and LCD is extremely high (ditto with the P3). We do get an occasional request for LCD replacement, usually after the PX3 has been operated portable and sustained damage in transport. The bezel (~$21 replacement cost) usually takes the brunt of the damage. If a new LCD is required, it's ~$100. Replacement instructions can be found in the PX3 Owners Manual. I don’t think we’ve ever had to replace an entire PX3 front panel module. We could repair it in virtually any scenario short of grizzly attack. 73, Wayne N6KR __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto: Elecraft@.qth This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to lists+1215531472858-365791@.nabble -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to donw...@embarqmail.com __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] PX3 Screen Issue [clarification on repair/replacement]
Hi Wayne: Recently I had a problem with my PX3. The VFO A cursor bar was black instead of green and some other artifacts. Elecraft support said it was probably the LCD and I would have to replace the front panel board and LCD at a cost of over $500. I consequently bought a used PX3 at much less than $500. I still have the PX3 with the "defective LCD". I would still like to get it repaired if it's around $100 or so. :-) 73, John N1JM wayne burdick wrote > John_N1JM, wrote: > >> It's a good thing it's under warranty.

Hi John, Reliability of the PX3 front panel circuit board and LCD is extremely high (ditto with the P3).
