I just lost my LCD Display backlight in my Giles 202 after a nice electrical burn smell. It looks like I have burned the DPU....Vision Microsystem Inc was purchased by JPI and they discontinued a great product. There is still support but at an elevated price.
I have found a EAA member/pilot/tech in Rhode Island through EBAY from all places who has a stock of parts replacements for VMI products and even a test bench to check the entire system. He is priced reasonable and will be sending my unit for repairs after having receieved a nice trouble shooting procedure from him....Stay put for final results/reports ...
If anyone is in need to have your VMI Monitor, DPU or individual VMI gauges repaired,,,you may want to consider giving this guy a call. He is super nice and a fellow flyer! Reggie Smith (401)741-0863
On a different note.....since I have no space between my pannel and the front backrest seat, I am obligated to have something slim an/or similar to the VM1000.....anyone knows of a system that it is not going to break the piggy bank and works as good as the VM1000?
I wish JPI would come out with a bolt on VM1000 replacement product or the VM1000 units itself again!!!!! ...I know of a few of you that will jump into it right away if available.....
