I saw one of those. Any idea how difficult it is to replace?![]()
With the ORX, the LCD appears to be glued onto the circuit board. A whole new board is about $230 so probably just buy a new box.not difficult at all loosen the 4 screws of the housing at the back and loosen the clip of the band cable from the LCD and tighten back screws and you're done
Use a heat gun lightly. It should loosen up the glue. Or use a hair dryer. I can't explain how not to melt your plastics, but be careful if you decide to try yourself.With the ORX, the LCD appears to be glued onto the circuit board. A whole new board is about $230 so probably just buy a new box.
We may give it a shot, or maybe just get another box. I don't want a cobbled together unit I can't trust in the field. Thanks for the input.Use a heat gun lightly. It should loosen up the glue.

$100 ? where can you buy it brand new for $145 then?For the extra $100 a whole new unit would be my solution with full warrantee.
Looks very difficult to me. I’m pretty fat fingered with this stuff...$37.45![]()

Beyond my skill unfortunately. I ended up just buying a new control box for the ORX. I still have the old one and may try installing a new LCD screen in it. Or I may try to sell it but I have no idea what it would be worth.So here is another thought if a new control box is $400 for the ORX then why not just buy a replacement Deus circuit board and drop it in the ORX. for the same price.
