PLEASE READ THIS BULLETIN IN ITS ENTIRETY BEFORE CONTACT Dynon AVIONICS

Description

Note that this is the Revision B of this Service Bulletin. Revision B cancels and replaces an earlier version of this report which was released the ‘February 11, 2013.

The original report was based on the specified detection method Screen SkyView to determine whether or not a display was affected. However, the displays that were thought to be influenced by the method of detection of the screen may actually be affected by this bulletin.

Therefore, all displays SkyView, although they were already confronted with the original service bulletin on this subject, should be re-checked using the updated instructions in this document.

The survey revealed a deviation of the production process to a subcontractor that can cause a weakness in a printed circuit board that plays a vital role in a display SkyView. Over time, this weakness can become a fault and manifest in the behavior of a display that does not turn on, a display that light up, but not quite the boot, or one that stops during funzionamento.I involved must display be returned for repair.

This Technical Service Bulletin instructs customers on how to determine if their equipment is affected by these issues. The display will have returned replaced the circuit has the problem. All other hardware will be updated, if necessary, and the display will be tested to ensure the new functionality of the factory.

screens that have the circuit board suspects shipped from about mid-2010 to mid-2011, however, these dates are not authoritative. The display SkyView have the ability to report a hardware identifier MAC address that can be used to determine if a display is affected once it is loaded with firmware version 5.1. This is the only accurate way to determine if the screen is concerned. Neither the serial number, or the date of shipment from the sun can determine if a display is concerned. The display must be updated to version 5.1 or higher to be able to see the MAC address.
