I am also coming to that conclusion. Which sucks because I have to take out the screen to replace it.
And yes. I’m sure I bought the right one :) I didn’t mention it in the original post, but I was aware of the different models and revisions.

It’s possibly a damaged cable, they’re pretty delicate.
Also, are you sure you bought the same type of replacement audio board? The original LCD decks used two ribbon cables to connect the audio board, while the revised design LCDs and OLEDs use only a single cable. If you bought the wrong audio board it may have a secondary unused ribbon connector, and won’t work with just the single ribbon cable of the newer decks.

You were absolutely correct. It was the ribbon cable. But the fault was so small I couldn’t see it with my aging eyes. But under magnification it was quite clear.

Sounds like a pain in the butt, but I’m glad you got it fixed!

Yeah it’s definitely not an elegant solution, but it works for now. But I think I will fix it properly at some point, now that I know what the problem is.
