In this lesson we’ll walk through replacing the Epilog Zing display panel.
Record Settings
If your machine will boot up, we’ll start by writing down some settings that will save you time later. Press the Go and Pointer button at the same time to access the Function Menu and cycle through the headings by pressing the Go button. Write down the Serial number, IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway.
Next, press the Config button on the display panel and cycle through the menu by pressing the right arrow. Write down the X-Home, Y-Home, Laser Match, Stamp Match and System Unit.
Preparation
Shut off the laser and remove the power cord from the machine.
Open the display panel package you received and put on the anti-static strap. Clip the strap on to any metal part of the machine. Always wear the anti-static strap when handling the control board to avoid damaging the unit through static discharge.
Remove Old Display Panel
Loosen the two screws on the side of the display panel.
Grasp the two screws and pull the controller away from the engraver. A small amount of force will be required to remove the board from the machine as you disconnect the electrical connections.
Make sure the copper strips inside the control housing stay in place when you remove the board.
Install New Display Panel
Slide the new display unit into place, ensuring the tabs on the control unit fit into the grooves on the side of the housing. Push the display unit all the way into the slots until it is fully seated. Tighten the two screws to secure the display unit in place.
Plug the machine in and turn it on.
