QMX+ Upper row of display turned to blocks - failed display? help!


 

New QMX + build - ALL is working 3W or better all bands at first startup. Great! ?Run time 2 hrs + numerous on & offs.

Ocassional weird characters in display. ?Had not set up internal gps. SO, shut down, ?, install the battery, provide the gps power source jumper, Add the top case - fit perfectly before screws installed - no PCB stress. Power up display shows all blocks on top line - this is weird but perhaps the gps is initializing - gps monitored on serial port utility all set - good fix. Still blocks , on off , factory reset still blocks. Run through all serial port diagnostics = all good. ?took it apart reflowed right angle connectors going to display . ?reinspect with 6x magnifiers for whiskers , blobs cut offs etc . run bare on bench = blocks on display. ?Have built two regular qmx's . this board is easy to inspect be comparison. ?Limited to ?10m here and it's 8pm ?. I seem to be able to control it so will try xmit tomorrow. WSJT is happy setting frequency and commanding emit. ?Will use 10M vertical which I''ll check SWR using regular QMX.
