Hi All,
I have a piece of equipment with a bad display and a new on is about 3000.00....
Can I somehow go to a comp monitor or some other way to fix it??

 

What is the model number of that monitor?

Take a picture of where the cable is connected to the monitor.

 

It is not an LCD display. Might be an LED display, but I suspect from the apparent distance between the bezel and the characters that is might be a vacuum fluorescent display (VFD). It also appears fairly large.

If you can decode a signal to the display (how many lines in the cable, serial, parallel, encoding), there might be a chance of finding something. But I suspect the chances are slim. The other choice is to look for a parts donor with something else wrong. Have you tried eBay?

Are the bad pixel locations fixed? If they aren't, it could be a bad connection.

I have a radio in my car and the problem is usually the flex cable. I have more bad rows/columns when it's cold. In the summer, all pixels work...

 

A couple more pictures.

 

It's a Nissei injection molding machine. It's an oddball model in between the old type
and the newer type and the only brought a few here. I think it's 1989 or so...
