    OBC Repaired and 1/3 of the pixels don’t work

    I ordered a new ribbon cable for my obc because on hot days the pixels would stop working but other than that the unit worked fine. When I tried to install the new cable onto the screen the soldering iron with T tip and silicone protector melted the cable so I decided to send it in. I sent my OBC to bavtek last week and got it back today. I plugged it in and 1/3 of the pixels don’t. I called bavtek and they said either I might have messed up the unit which I don’t think is the case because I was very careful taking it apart. Or the unit has a bad motherboard. I was wondering if anyone knows what could cause this? He offered for me to send it back or a refund. He said they have no way of testing it though so I’m skeptical of him being able to fix the problem. Any ideas would great. Thanks.
