I fixed my CIM. I have posted about the solution in this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?158277-MEP-805B-display-problem-found

I was actually considering doing the same thing to mine. I think it is a great idea. It obviously wouldn't have helped with the amount of water in yours though

I agree with the previous posts about poor connections and corrosion due to moisture. With the CIM case having been previously full of water, I'd suspect internal connections however, not the two external connectors. On the motherboard, the DiskOnChip (solid state "hard drive") is installed in a...

Thanks!

Well, if you get time to play with it and swapping the screens fixes it, that'd be awesome! Keep us posted. I ordered an exact replacement screen for mine (thanks for the p/n by the way!). I'll give you an update on mine as well.

The way mine is positioned, there is about an inch and a half clearance (I didn't measure it) between the platform and rear of the generator when the platform is up. Just enough room for whatever power cables you're running thought the pass-through.

I do not have to put the rear legs down. I can even jump on the platform, and it is stable (I was diagnosing a fuel level sensor and was trying to get the fuel to slosh around).

Hello, I did a couple quick measurements. Mine is positioned with the control panel towards the rear of the trailer. Hopefully that's how you placed yours on the trailer too. From the plate welded on the rear of the trailer's frame rail (where the angle iron for the fold-down platform bolts on)...

Hello, That makes me think your replacement screen is fine, but there is something wrong with the "computer" part of the CIM (the circuit boards on the inside of the back cover). Maybe the BIOS isn't set properly to boot from the internal flash memory drive, or the flash drive is bad/has...

Did your replacement display from China end up working well? If so, do you have a part number and vendor info available? I need to replace the LCD panel in one of my CIMs also. Yours is the color 2nd gen CIM, right?

Hello, Did you ever get your mep-805b positioned and mounted on your m200a1 trailer? I have this exact combination, and it seems to be well balanced. I could take measurements if you'd like.

Agreed! $10 each would be awesome! They're $424 each, with a minimum order of 25.

Oh, and I forgot to mention in all my Google searching to find a replacement keypad for a reasonable price, I found what I'd describe as a technical service bulletin basically stating that there are known reliability problems with the keypad. It said to check the date code on the keypad, and if...

Hello, Mine is an intermittently bad keypad for sure, as I have swapped them between generators and the problem follows the keypad. I am putting my plans to build an arduino based keypad on the back burner, because I found an entire used, very low hour control box, complete with color CIM with...

Hello, Did you ever find a resolution to this keypad issue? I have two MEP-805b generators, and one has a keypad that has intermittently inoperative left, down, and select keys (all the important ones). I took the keypad apart to clean and inspect all the connections, and with the hope that I...

Hello, I have two mep-805b generators. One is a 2002 model year with a monochrome display. The other is a 2008 model year with a color display. On the newer unit, some of the text is really hard to read, like the text is comprised of several colors and they don't all line up. It makes the text...

I'm not exactly sure, but the tech manual has pretty detailed instructions about how to connect to it, and even a schematic to build a cable if needed. I was planning on building a cable, but there is no sense spending the time on that if I can't obtain the software. I have some old computers...

Hello. I just acquired a MEP-805b also, and I've been searching for the CIM software CD. Any chance I could get a copy too? I'm new to the forum, but is there any chance an iso of the cd could be uploaded to the tech manual section of the site? Thanks!
