    MEP 805B display problem found.

    I trimmed the ribbon cable that runs from the motherboard to the LCD panel inside the CIM. There are several CIM designs though (I've personally seen 3 different styles, but there are probably more). Only one of the three types I've dealt with uses the cable I'm referring to, the others use...

    MEP 805B display problem found.

    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?
