Possible Damage to Cambridge 302

Had my canopy off today to do some work behind the panel. I
accidentally leaned against the panel and it slammed down. I powered up

IIRC, the needle swung, but it never got beyond the second screen, the
one which displays a number at the top and the firmware version at the
bottom.

The wind got pretty strong today at Moriarty so I put it back in the
trailer. My plan for tomorrow is to disconnect everything and reconnect
thinking that a connector or wire might have come loose. There's no
indication of damage by looking at the screen. Any suggestions?

I sort of remember the temperature probe can cause funny stuff if it's
not plugged in correctly or is damaged. Make sure it's secure; if that
doesn't work, try unplugging it.

The technician at Cambridge has been helpful in the past when I had a
problem.

Thanks, Eric

As I reported the other day, it was, in fact, the probe. It must have
gotten jarred loose when the panel slammed down. Simply unplugging and
plugging it back in fixed the problem. I'll file that one away for future
reference.
