Cosmo Communicator - Hardware / Broken CODI Display
« on: June 25, 2020, 02:43:28 pm »
Same thing happened to me about 6 months ago. Sent the unit back to Planet at my expense after receiving an RMA number. They replaced the CODI display and returned the unit at no further expense.
I concur that there is a "weakness with the CODI screen *UNDER* the touchscreen glass such that the LCD display cracks & stops working."
My guess is that the CODI display is hard mounted to the cover frame with no shock absorbing elements. When the lid is snapped shut, the LCD receives very high G forces and ultimately will crack due to normal lid "snapping shut" action.
Since then I never just flip the lid shut. I carefully & gingerly close the lid making sure there is never any kind of jolt upon lid closing. I have had no further issues with CODI LCD cracks. Your Mileage May Vary..
Cheers,
Doug
