Stephen, where are you? I used to live in Thousand Oaks and Agoura
Hills. I'm now in Irvine, but it's not totally out of the question
to head up the 405/101. Kevin Lightner is somewhere up in the
mountains near Big Bear these days.

That's a piece of cake: two screws on the bottom to lift the panel,
and then a few holding in the ribbon. May need to solder. You can
see it in this picture: www.therogoffs.com/cs80/CS80%20001.html.

Might be simple mechanical thing. Should be easy to track.

Need more details.

The problem is that is would probably take one visit to fix the easy
stuff and diagnose the rest. If it needs parts, it would take
another visit.
