TB6 buttons are stuck

None of the buttons on my TB6 work anymore and annoyingly there is a massive "CH 1" across the middle of my image. The ON-OFF button still works but nothing else.

 

When I turn it on there is contrast across the middle at maximum for a few seconds then it goes to "CH 1"

 

Are there any fixes I can do myself? It s been raining a lot here; I wonder if it got damp in there...

Thomas,

 

I had an identical problem with my TB-6 during a shoot in the rain. Had to shoot with the "CH 1" emblazoned right in the center of the screen! I received excellent advice from a veteran op, that being to take the casing off of the TB-6 (I think it's roughly 8 Phillips screws) and to let it dry out via natural evaporation (def drain out any obvious moisture).

 

Luckily, I was down for a few days and it worked perfectly when I put the casing back on and sent power and video to it.

 

Hope it works out for you in a similarly-painless-way. B)
