Bushman1981 0 Posted April 14, 2022 It’s a 2003 350es 4x4. It’s water damaged really bad and when I took it apart pieces fell out. Don’t think there is any hope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKATV 822 Posted April 14, 2022 Send me a few pictures of what you have going on If it’s falling apart it’s more than likely too water damaged for repair I will send my contact information to your message box as well I might be able to source you a replacement card Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fire54 1 Posted April 27, 2022 Hello AKATV sorry it took so long to reply but here is a picture. I know the picture doesn’t show much. Hopefully this can be fixed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKATV 822 Posted April 27, 2022 Hi glad to hear back from you thanks for posting the picture That’s about a blank as blank gets! lol Doesn’t look like sun damage at all You might have a power issue, as you need 12 volts on 2 separate wires to fully power up the board I would check that out first -I can give you specifics if you are able to check with a multimeter If voltage is good, you could have water damage on the board inside or have dropped programming if it sat with a dead battery for quite awhile Usually they don’t go completely blank like that,so I would recommend opening the case up and getting a look at the circuit board and we can take it from there I have also sent my contact information to your message box as well 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKATV 822 Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) Looking closely at this picture I see that there is no clear lens in the top cover...... Safe to say it is most likely been full of water and the circuit card will be severely corroded and not cost effective to repair Better off replacing circuit card and top cover, possibly the harness as well depending on pin corrosion and damage But with that being said, let me know what you find and we can take it from there Edited April 27, 2022 by AKATV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JasonBfromLA 0 Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) Howdy. I'm looking for AKATV too. My 2006 rancher 350ES display looks to be sun damaged. AKATV, would you mind either showing me towards a post that shows how to repair it myself, or tell me what it would likely cost to get you to do it for me? I haven't even taken it apart yet, are there really TWO layers of polarized film that requires replacement, one behind and one in front of the LCD? Is there a way to test to see if it's actually a polarized film fault, or something actually wrong with the display?

AKATV 822 Posted May 28, 2022 Hi and welcome to the forum If you can post a picture or two of what you have going on with your headlights turned on so that the display is backlit, I can tell you exactly what you need to have done There are two layers of polarization film on most any LCD display, one on the front and one on the rear as well as well as a back light filter If you’d like to contact me for a repair I’ll send my contact information to your message box Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JasonBfromLA 0 Posted May 31, 2022 Okay, had to polish the display so you can even see anything. Got that done yesterday. This is what I've got. Can't see much in the daylight pic so I did one at night too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKATV 822 Posted May 31, 2022 Great job on polishing the cover Your display has UV (sunlight) damage to the polarization films and backlight filter, which is common for a 20 year old machine My contact information is in your message box if you would like to contact me for a repair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canadianphil 0 Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) Hi AKATV! I have a 2001 Foreman 450 ES with the usual no gear select because it didn’t have a battery for a couple of years. let me know the details for getting this repaired please.

AKATV 822 Posted August 4, 2022 Sounds like you’ve dropped programming for sure -how are your miles an hours by the way? Are they crazy high/low numbers or all zeros or nines or blank ,or are they good? I will send my contact information to your message box if you’d like to have it reprogrammed It is very important to keep a good battery in these machines particularly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Need a few more details as to what is wrong exactly Post a few pictures if you can with the backlight on the display (headlights on) I will send contact information to your message box as well AKATV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattwg 0 Posted August 4, 2022 AKATV, thanks! Display lights up and all just does show anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKATV 822 Posted August 4, 2022 I think it might be displaying -just very faintly because your polarization films have been damaged by sunlight If you remove the top cover, I’ll be able to tell for sure If that’s the case, then it will be a simple polarization film and back light filter replacement If it’s not displaying anything at all,you might have water damage or a power issue But I think it is displaying -just very, very faintly Plus,with the top cover being a little clouded it makes it a little difficult to tell Pull the top cover and let me know for sure -maybe post a picture Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AKATV 822 Posted August 5, 2022 Thanks for the pictures Looking around the edges of this display I can see where the polarizing film has a gap around the edges- did somebody attempt repair on this previously? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattwg 0 Posted August 5, 2022 I’m assuming so, but can’t say for sure. I just got this ATV about a month ago in a trade and this is how it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
