Anyone have the ability to replace the display wire on my apex display?  Somehow mine got broken.  The soldering is a little to intricate for my ability.  It is just 4 wires on the board.

I have done a lot of repair, especially the kind where I'm at the point of ok I'm going to trash this cause it doesn't work, so I fix it.  Computers, TV's, HVAC, ipods, all sort of cool stuff.
 
 
I'm happy to take a look at it.

IME, Neptune is very reasonable with their repairs if you haven't contacted them yet.

I would just send it to Neptune.  I sent them a piece and they fixed it pretty quick reasonably priced.  It would cheaper to have them fix it then buy a new piece.

I would do that as well. Any tinkering will void warrenties. If there is a warranty always send it in before self repairs

If they won't help my offer stand indefinitely
