The problem with calibration was the outer screen was going bad,put a mk3 screen with the mk1 LCD and it worked great....of course I have rainbows but at least I solved that part.

So I grab a mk3 screen I have that has leakage in the lower rt corner,turns out it has a tiny hairline crack running about 3mm lengthways so a small dab of silver nail polish to fill in the crack made it acceptable.

It all works...so I go ahead and add a gps unit I have from a mk2,button it most the way up and plug it in......dead....I do mean dead,not a glimmer of life. No Battery light when plugged in,nothing. No smoke or smell,no obvious burned parts or pinched wires,I killed that bugger alright.

Teach it to fool with me.....jeez. :doh:

Good thing I have a sense of humor.......I have that thing stripped down and I read your post,so what the hell,put a battery in it and plug it in. @%^GT^@@(*(&*&^((@&U& thing now has a battery light. :blowaway:

I think I'll let it rest awhile before I put it back together. :boing: FFS.

Yes you can swap in a touchscreen. Be careful as all mks are not the same wiring.

Wait for member sadlmkr to join in. He has all the parts you need.
He is a good guy and will be fair with the price.

The cf-30MK1 LCD screen assembly is not compatible to CF-30MK2 and MK3 as cf-30MK1 LCD harness has different connector. But MK2 and MK3 are interchangeable.
