Hi all,

 

bought an 88 last summer and finally getting around to getting it road worth. having issues with crt screen:

1. only have access to summary page

2. buttonsdo not work

3. crt thinks its jan 1, 1987.

 

see pics. Can this be a unplug and replug issue. what is weird is that not one of the buttons works which makes be believe it is not a button issue. see imge

For mine it was a button issue. Ribbon cables and tactile switches. Tough to repair, not impossible. Contacts have to be cleaned. There's a bunch of semi-destructive disassembly to be done and some liberal use of de-oxit.

I can’t offer anything on the button issue, but I know that the calendar resets to Jan 1 1987 whenever the battery is disconnected and reconnected.

The faceplate that screws on to the front of the CRT is the touch control portion. from the CRT back its just for the display. The faceplate should have some cable connections to the CRT that you could check and maybe reseat to get your control back.
