With something like that control unit I always try to fine some type of case to put it in,
Why? Because I bought a brand new cell phone and just got it home and was playing with it
It slipped out of my hands hit the floor and broke the screen,
Needless to say I was pissed. since then first thing I do is put the item in a cover/case.
I have drop stuff many times and those little cheesy cases will keep the item from breaking? Go Figure.

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.

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.

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.

For the extra $100 a whole new unit would be my solution with full warrantee.
$100 ? where can you buy it brand new for $145 then?

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.

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.

My brother didn't trust this unit, so he bought another control box. So I paired this one with the X35 coil I use with my Deus. Now I have an ORX to use as a backup. I'll probably just use it with wired headphones since I don't want to shell out a hundo for the WSaudio phones.
