what type of mod? under "TOOLS" in escribe, try a hard reboot. see if that clears it up. if not try reinstalling the firmware your running under the same tab labeled "update firmware". post back to let us know if that helped

First use the "Connect and Download Settings" button. Then do a File -> Save your device configuration first to the drive before continuing:

1) Tools -> Reboot Device -> Soft reboot

2) Tools -> Reboot Device -> Hard reboot

3) Tools -> Update Firmware

Try each of the above and check to see if it corrects the issue. If you want to see what is happening on the screen at anytime, using the Theme tab, pick one and click the capture button. You can do this at anytime to see what the screen is currently trying to display.

If none of the above works, the display ribbon is loose or damaged. What mod is this by the way?

UPDATE: Oh good! CB is here.

You're just purchasing another screen, right?

[black lace]

No you can run it without a screen in.. if it dont run you got somting els going wrong..

[retird]

Are you using the on-board buttons or external buttons?  

Also you should check all the ground connections of your device.  Loose grounds or poor grounds can cause many issues.

If its a metal box yam ok, I repeat. It should work wivout the screen. have you been using it long or just finished building it and its bust within hours... edit ..sos just re red it,, did aditional work last month.

As was mentioned before:  using the Theme tab, pick one of the themes and click the capture button. You can do this at anytime to see what the screen is currently trying to display.  Knowing what the screen is currently saying (but you can't see on the screen) may help you.

As black lace said the device will operate without the screen...

Also in the lower left hand corner of Device Monitor you can check the "Mode:" status .... what does it say?

it's 10 months old  in an alu box .. battery is hard wired .. well it was it's apart atm .. ahh could be the brass stand offs need cleaning .. alls good will wait for the new screen and see whats what

[black lace]

Cant see all three failing, been ok for 10 months, but cant see it, lol, just test continuity across with a multitester, dont need the battery in. Would be a better job to go off the ground out tab to the 510, if your ordering a screen you could order a tab washer to solder to, once youve tightened it under the nut ect, I know if you had the brass stand offs from stealth, that means the screen ribbon needed alot of bending to prevent from dragging on the pushrod fire button, ive fitted quite a few, What i do is once im satisfied a new build is fully working i put a slither of wood like a lollipop stick or cocktail stick between the button shaft and the ribbon and then drop a blob of epoxi resin over the kinked up ribbon to set it in place, then when its dry pull the wood out ensuring there is a clear gap that aint going to close.. and drag and get warn away.

all is good in the world again .. new screen  and a screen holder installed .. phew ..
thx all
