Vertical Lines on old GE Fanuc LCD Display

[danwgandy]

Good afternoon,

A machine at work has been having worsening display problems. It's a GE Fanuc 180i with a non-touch screen LCD display. Occasionally it would slowly degrade until all you could see was a series of vertical lines, and someone would just bang on it to get the proper picture back, but it has gotten to the point where it degrades to unusable within a minute. I've tried to find resources on these things online, and as far as I can tell there's no simple VGA port to just plug another monitor in if this one gets any worse. If anyone has any suggestions, it'd be much appreciated.

Might find a replacement LCD here.

ugh servicing CNC machines. Last time I had to service one of ours I got really lucky and found some Vietnamese outfit selling external control modules that would work on ours. It's almost as if they don't want these things to be user serviceable. 😛
