Long shot - replacement parts for Lighthouse

[phurst]

I know this is a long shot, but the screen on my Lighthouse controller has gone out. The part manufacturer says it's an obsolete part, and they don't have any in stock. Do you guys know where I could get a replacement? Anyone happen to have a busted one I could buy the screen out of?

Unfortunately I do not know of anyone who has this, I apologize. You might do a google search to see if you can find anybody selling a full unit.

Thanks for replying. I have a WTB post in the want to buy section.

Sorry try Finns Reef they sell the Lighthouse products too.

 

[phurst]

Thanks. I checked, but didn't see anything available on their site.

Call them they bought some of there left over stuff.

 

[phurst]

Cool, thanks.

Just thought about this, does the back of the screen have any branding marks, or model #? You might be able to google search it if so, and find some old stock at an electronic parts supplier somewhere.

Thanks for the suggestion. The screen manufacturer is still in business, but they don't make that part any more, and don't have any. Everywhere else I can find the part, just points back to the manufacturer.

I'll keep looking though. Thanks.

Wow, I found this thread looking for a replacement screen too. Please keep us posted on your progress and I'll do the same.

I'm hoping to tinker with it this weekend. I'm going to try to determine if it's the screen or the driver.

Any luck with this, I have the same issue. I have been searching as well with no luck in finding one. Since you already have it apart, is there a gentle way to open this to get at the screen? I don't want to go prying and break clips or anything.....

Brian from Fins Reef bought a bunch of parts after the guy who built the Lighthouse controller quit, problem is getting a hold of Brain or Eric, if someone knows about their retail store in N. Carolina I believe you could call their shop.
