amthar stranger Registered: 15/02/2002 Posts: 27 Loc: North Carolina	Any reports of screens dieing in EMPEGs? One day my empeg just stopped showing stuff on the screen. Music plays... but nothing comes up on the screen (in the car or on AC). Thanks all. .-= Worried I now have a $600 screenless- wonder =-. JT

On the right-hand side, just under the rotary control, there should be a 'fill nipple' as in the picture attached. Attachments 93046-displayNipple.jpg (100 downloads)

David addict Registered: 05/05/2000 Posts: 623 Loc: Cambridge	If this is missing as in the attached pic, the panel has suffered some shock. Attachments 93047-brokenNipple.jpg (107 downloads)
