V5 Brain Screen

VEX V5 General Discussion General Forum

Does anyone know where to obtain a new screen for the v5 brain. VEX doesn’t sell these as replacement parts and will only sell a new brain. I can’t find the correct replacement screen because the ribbon is reversed - it has the metal contact points facing down instead of the standard up (pins are reversed 50 - 1). I have only found 67pin ribbons that look this way.

This is what a standard ribbon cable looks like on this 4.3" display.

Sorry, it is a 40 pin ribbon cable, not a 50 pin.

You could try and send it in to vex:https://kb.vex.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039793971-Return-Replacement

This is what my coach did to get ours fixed last year.

Unfortunately it is out of warranty. I can easily replace it myself though.
