Fist of all I would like to thank you for your intrest in reading this thread. I own a Mazda rx-8 with Navigation... Last month I decided to upgrade my nav in-to something new a carpc... When I replace the old nav screen I some-how managed to burn some components on the main board of the old LCD... so my Open-Close/Tilt functions are dead the open button opens the case only half-way ... an closes full way ( if i manualy open) the tilt button is dead... can someone help me? i think this components ar wasted 2SB936A and 64/04 SMD

 

When you took apart the nav hood you lost the gears orientation and therefore misaligned them. The potentiometer doesn't like that. It's a tricky process but this is what you have to do. Separate the display hood itself (the main part with the motor) from the plastic center dash panel. You should then try to operate the open/close and tilt buttons. They should make the motor spin in various ways. Now hit the button and make sure the motor is in the fully close position. You will need to reassemble the housing without spinning the motor or you will once again lose the alignment. I've had to do this many times but its gotten easier.

edit, also make sure that the small 3 pin plug going to the potentiometer is plugged in properly.. it will EASILY fit in the wrong way.

btw, where are you located?

 

now that sounds like calibrating the nav screen... belive me I tried that 10000 times and still nothing... is there any one how can help me with a new board or something to replace it ? alz0rz thank you for your help :X I'm from Romania.... if you hear any thig about an carshed rx-8 or some one how can help me with this... please tell me I'm willing to speend big time on this .

 

I'm not sure what you mean by calibrating the nav screen? when I did my setup I ran into this problem as well.. my screen would open halfway, or would open fully then hit the end and retract half way. My tilt also didn't work.

Take apart the nav hood from the center plastic panel (separate the gear from the guide) and see if the motor spins the full length. I'm 99% sure that is what is happening. That and make sure once again the potentiometer is in the correct orientation.. that plug threw me off a few times.

 

I'm on this I have left the main bord and motor out so I can play this is the first thing I'm going to do I have a nice carpc set-up I'll post some pictures ... when I'm done.... Now I'm waint for a friend to creat a plug-in for Centrafuse that will play my Itunes music

 

Hey! how do I know if the potentiometer is in the correct orientation? or what do you mean by that ? I'll may a video of my nav and post it

 

o.k I give up can you help me find a used LCD screen? with the motor?

 

o.k here is a movie http://www.rx8.rdsbv.ro/ please help me if you can :D

 

..........spam.........S

 

can't really tell much from that (other than yer a chick ), however the motor itself is fine because even when you manually pushed it fully open it still closed all the way.

it still can be what I said about it not being aligned correctly.. i really wouldn't be able to tell you from here...

 

i have a nav screen and housing for sale. expensive though.

 

Hey Razvan, I'm having the same problem as you. Were you able to fix the issue?

 

o.k I can help you.... I have an extra board.... for my lcd if you want it i can send it to you... all you have to do is play the shipping ....as for the original main board.... is someware in the recycle area mine was dead....

 

what do you mean board? did you have to replace something? Please provide the steps you took to fix this issue. Thanks.
