Videohub 40x40 repair help

Hi all,

I've got two BMD 40x40 - one with a dead main board and the other with physical damage, but I'm hoping I can make a usable one (with some spares if anyone else needs?!)

I wondered if anyone else has taken apart the BMD 40x40 and has any info that might help?

On the main board there is a heatsink which has some spring loaded plastic nuts where they end expands once pushed through the pcb to hold in place (I expect they have a name)...

I might be able to get some long nose pliers in to compress the end, but I think it might be easier to snip them off and completely replace.

Any advice very welcome!

I think replacements are hard to find. There are So many types of those things in all different sizes and lengths.. Better to use a nose pliers and pull them out.

Would have thought something like that would be readily available, just not sure of the name of it.

Found some nylon snap rivets which are close (ish) and could use the springs - I might go back to BMD and ask if they have a name for the part. That said, I've still got to take the whole thing apart anyway, so should be able to use my pliers to remove the existing ones!

Does anyone else need any spare parts for a Videohub? Looks like I'll have a spare screen / various other bits (I just need the main board)

Got an old model 40x40 with a dead port.. But that does not compare to the hardware of the modern 40x40.

Just wondering since you are trying to make one unit
i am looking for a screen display for mine
are you willing to part with one???

Sure can Kevin - send me a message with an offer!

If you've not been inside your unit already, the screen is very easy to fit.

After taking apart one physically damaged unit (damaged BNCs) and another which apparently had a damaged main board (wouldn't complete update or boot - but powered on & could see on BMD software) I have managed to create...

...two video hubs that don't work. Joy.

I've not attempted updating the software yet, but as one of the units booted to begin with that I think I might have killed that one too (displaying similar behaviour - flicks on when it gets power, but doesn't boot/display the Smart Video Hub splash screen)

Anyone on here tinkered successfully with the Video Hub?

Hello Tom
You still have the 40x40 Hub I need the front panel if available

a thread listing broken parts may be usefull

Hi

The Screen for my VideoHub 40x40 has died. Way out of warranty so I assume no point asking BlackMagic as they never seem to want to help with after warranty period is up.

Any suggestions as to where I can source a replacement screen?

Thanks
