[TenTec] Paragon II Display problem HELP

[gsanderlin at charter.net]

Check for plugs that might be plugged in, but not aligned properly. Check for pins that might have pushed out when connectors were plugged in.  Also check the other end of the cables to make certain they didn't get unplugged.

Hope this helps
