    This display monitor is no longer available. How do I get in touch with AKATV to send off for repair.

    Or to purchase a refurbished one.  Honda parts#37200-HN7-731

    Thank you

    Welcome to the forum!

    What is wrong or going on with your old one?

    Send a few pics with details as Jeep said above

    I will send my contact information to your message box as well

    The bottom line is if it’s so damaged that parts are literally falling off the board that means the copper traces have dissolved and there’s nothing to attach them to
    Water damage boards are pretty much end of life and they are nonrepairable unfortunately 

    I can most likely source the correct parts to get you back up and running,!but a repair for water damage of that level, at least by me, is not cost-effective nor reliable long-term

    Thanks for the kind words, glad to help
     

    The repair costs really depend on what issues you are having and the availability of the replacement parts 

    I have repairs ranging from polarization film and backlight filter replacement for Sun damage to circuit card assembly replacement due to water damage, and/or whole assembly replacement, individual circuit component replacement and reprogramming

     

    A few pictures inside and out and a brief description really helps out in the beginning.

     I seem to be getting a lot of speedometer circuit cards lately that are heavily water damaged and not repairable, so they must be replaced as well

    It really helps initially to remove the top cover and see if you’ve got water damage inside on the circuit card

    99% of the time the backlight and LED will still work with an extremely water damaged non-repairable circuit card, which leads to the owner thinking that the speedometer is operational and it’s just a Sun damaged LCD display issue

    Hi, welcome aboard!
    I sent my contact information to your message box

    If you can tell us a little bit more about what you have going on exactly I can more effectively troubleshoot how to help repair it

    Removing the top cover and taking a few pictures, help a lot as well

    Does your back light come on?

    Does any of your LEDs work at all?

    Does the screen look discolored?

    Possibly have water damage internally?

    These few things will help narrow it down

    Glad to see you made it over here, welcome to the forum!

    Seeing how these will run without a meter even plugged up to the machine, the mystery deepens

    If this was a Honda dealership and they broke your meter plug because they did not know how to get it apart,

    that alone speaks volumes about their service and technical proficiency.

    I would be hitting them up for the cost of a replacement plug and or meter or see what they are willing to do

    I can repair it for you anyways, but it wont impede function the way it is, you just need need to keep it waterproof for now

    As far as you ATV issues at this point  we need to confirm, that you have spark, fuel, and compression

    Other members will be along to help soon as well

    Thank you for trying, shadetree

    I just cut the end off the muffler and spent the day creating some baffles out of sheet metal and just got it all put back together works great

    Welding is functional, not too good to look at

    Welcome to the forum cdyoder!

    Yep, concur 100% with what Jeep said above-

    My 2 cents is that it is/was probably full of water with that top cover being broken and corroded.

    I bet if you open it up it most likely looks like something that came off the Titanic,from water damages.

    Take the screws out of the backplate and pop the cover off and post a picture of what it looks like inside.

    I can source you parts to get you fixed up, if you are interested

    I will send my direct contact information to your message box

    Welcome to the forum DJS,

    Sounds like you have dropped or corrupted programming on your meter 

    Post a picture or two if you can, and I will send my contact information to your message box

    Welcome to the forum!

    Thanks for posting pictures. It really helps to see what you have going on.

    Looks like you might have an extremely sun damaged LCD, but I can repair that if you need it

    The part that concerns me is there looks like a little bit of condensation residue inside the meter

    You might wanna pop that top cover off and make sure you don’t have water damages because that

    usually destroys the circuit card to the point of no repair

    The top cover looks pretty good though, so you might not have any water in there at all just want to make sure

    I will send my contact information to your message box right now

    I wanted to let all members know that member @Fat Tire has a lead on on a couple NOS

    Honda Speedometers for the Foreman 450S footshift  model 1998-01, absolutely brand new in the box, and one used one with under 300 miles in VGC

    If you have the "black screen of death" common to the 450S, or yours is water damaged and/or non-repairable etc.. and you have found that these are discontinued- I would quickly look him up, I expect they will not be around long

    If I get any requests, I will forward them to him as well.

    Late to the party-sorry lol

    I can repair your speedometer for you, 

    Most likely, you have a bad speed sensor power output circuit

    I will send my contact information to your message box

    Welcome to the forum!

    I should be able to get you taken care of no problem. A few pictures would be quite helpful in determining what repairs you actually need.

    If you could post a few pictures with IT powered up AND your headlights turned on so the back light is illuminated, that would be helpful as well as a few details about what you actually have going on
    I will send my contact information to your message box.

    Hope to see you around the forum
