So switched on the MD tonight to be greeted by space invaders!
Power on w/Function brought up the test menu & everything tested ok only I couldn’t exit.
Screen would hang then eventually display the weird symbols again.
Opened her up to have a look at the state of the components.
No sign of any resin or browsing of components so I just pulled all the ribbons including the one that joins the 2 base boards then reseated them.
Yey Bobs ya Uncle job done
Guess there was a bit of corrosion or a slightly unseated ribbon connector.
Might as well give the top plate a clean.
Get a local expert to evaluate the work
Stick her back together
Hope that’s helps anyone who comes across this in future.
Obviously if you’re still in warranty you might not want to do this. My unit is 2007 so figure I’ve nothing to lose.
Also if you do attempt this, when you refit the top plate, lay it on left side down first & gently roll into position so each LED falls into place, don’t worry about the buttons, they’ll sort themselves out.
Cheers
