Tripmaster problem

[dery]

Hi!
I found one day, that my tripmaster LCD display looks strange:




it's showing all the 888 88:88 as you can see.

any ideas? could it be voltage reg. or just some condenser/capacitor inside the trip?

cheers!

if you search the threads I seem to remember this has been mentioned before. Try the battery connections, as I think this happens when they become loose

it's showing 198.0 on the trip, and 1.39 on the clock.

I was looking for similar threads, many other problems with trip but never something like this.

Checked battery and all plugs - seems fine to me..

yes, you can read 198.0 but also it's showing a shade of 888 88:88. It's nothing serious [yet..] but a bit annoying, and I don't know maybe it's start of rectifier problem?

Try disconnecting the battery, then reconnect that should reset the tripmaster, you will have to reprogramme the clock & any information stored will be lost.

I've restart the trip already, still the same problem

im pretty sure that in a previous thread - the trip has built in small batteries(?) - and it might be worth taking the back off and disconnecting these???

hmm.. I've been looking there, doesn't seem like batteries to me, rather condenser/capacitor. I can't disconnect it, but the trip is reset already.
And the problem's still occurs

Hi dery

Had same problem after fuse blew due to faulty bike battery. Display showed 8888's and nothing I did made any difference, I followed advice and disconnected bike battery for about 10 - 15 minutes, re-connected batt and it all fired up and behaved, still works fine couple of weeks on.

right, now I know that the tripmaster is faulty.
I connected my trip to 1gear1brake's AT [thanks mate!] an was the same.

so, no fuse, no rectifier, any other ideas?

what could be important, that this 'shade' is only on numbers [- 888 88:88]
there is no 'shade' on [TRIP 1 2 CLOCK km mile]
