Help!

The backlight yesterday went on my Blue Mountain Avionics EFIS G4 Lite!

Possibly, and hopefully, this is an inverter issue, and not the display

itself.

As this company no longer exists, can anyone suggest the best method for

getting this sort of problem rectified?

Are the circuit board schematics for their products available anywhere?

Any help much appreciated.

Best to go to the BMA website or www.vansairforce.net and advertise for G4 lite wanted. Or watch e bay. One or 2 sold recently for less than$500.

I agree, BMA - don't even go there. they haven't updated that product

since the Clinton administration. So many people have had issues with

their systems - why torture yourself. Get a Dynon, call Approach

FastStack and get a cable, plug it in, hook up a power and ground lead

and fly away.

Actually, according to Larry on the BMA site, they are trying to 

handle hardware repairs.  Check out the bulletin board site.



BMA hardware in the field was no less reliable than Dynon or

any other non cert hardware.  Its been 2 years since BMA stopped

development, Dynon still has not caught up with the useful feature list.



The main problem with the BMA hardware was that it assumed at least 

a high school education in electricity to install.  Apparently this was

a bad assumption.  Greg had actually assumed that users would 

actually want to calibrate their sensors, turns out most installers did not

know what that actually meant since no one does it for antediluvian

analog hardware.  Most people accept ±20% accuracy and never know

the difference.



I used a gold box for 4 years before upgrading to a G4. Never

had a hardware problem that was not of my own creation.

Thanks for all the comments, constructive and otherwise, to this request for

help.

Greg Richter is kindly going to make the repair and would like the community

to know that he is reachable by e-mail at: greg(at)bluemountainavionics.com.

I would think that this is the correct way to reach him despite his home

telephone number being out there.
