Just noticed the display for my Trace inverter/charger went haywire. I hit the factory reset button and unplugged the main display wire connected to inverter and doesn't fix the issue. Any idea what the heck happened or how to fix? Here's a picture of what the display is showing. My rig is a 99 Sportmobile fwiw.

If you feel OK doing it... Kill the power (DC and AC) to the system and pop the thing apart. Re-set all of the connectors/cables and put back together.
There is a good chance it is just a dirty/lightly corroded connection somewhere.
Good Luck,

It's def not a language setting issue. It's haywire. I'm going to try and get to the back end and check the wiring.. Looks like it's going to be tough though.. If anyone knows of a service tech in the Salt Lake City/Park City Utah area please let me know. I would much rather have a professional check it out.. -

Thanks for the info. I took the thing apart and put it all back together and still have the same issue. I'm going assume it's shot. Anyone have an extra control panel or know where I can find a one? I've searched hi and low the last couple days and am coming up empty handed : ( It's a model SWRC remote control panel for Xantrex/Trace PS model. -
There is one on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/191727415497?
