Display offset problem

[Feedback]

Hey guys,

Fired up my old MP2 again after it has been in storage for years.
Everything sounds fine - the only problem it seems to have is on the display. When I turn the preamp on it's all good, but after some time playing, characters are offset to the right.

Anyone came across this already?

Do you mean that the characters are shifted to the right? Both rows?

I haven't come across that before, I've had my display go all hieroglyphic (ish) when it doesn't get decent power (running off a generator) and I have to power cycle it to fix it.

One thing to check is the ribbon cable that goes from the PCB to the front panel, it can come out of it's socket on the PCB quite easily, although the display is fed by another cable which runs from the PCB, under the ribbon cable to the screen, worth checking that it's connected properly.  Otherwise, it would seem to be either a problem in the screen or a problem with whatever feeds the screen on the PCB  :dunno: .  You can get replacement screens, MJMP had some but they are the same as the screens used in Quadverbs and come in a variety of background/text colours. (https://www.ebay.com/itm/112535130034?ViewItem=&item=112535130034).
There's some chat about screen change in the MP2 section (http://adadepot.com/index.php?topic=1824.0)

Thanks a lot for your answers guys!

MarshallJMP > Yes, exactly. Both rows indeed.

rnolan > Ok, thanks for the pointers. I'll check the cables and will consider a replacement if the problem is not solved.
