New user of DaVinci 1.0 trouble

Well, no guesses as to what's wrong until you can get the LCD rolling. I'd try replacing the ribbon cable first, since that is a cheap repair to do.

If it's working normally, you get 1 short beep on startup. Then lesser beep when you select things in the LCD menu. Interior light should stay on for over a minute after you power it on, not just flash.

I don't know what type it is, since my machine isn't apart at the moment. But the place to get such things is generally http://www.digikey.com/. Digikey has pretty much any parts you may need and at decent enough prices for something that is cheap to start with.

Just as a random part I looked at pricing for, a 200mm cable with the slide-in type ends was $3.90 US Dollars. You'd have to count the wires you needed, if it has the metal slide contacts on both side (as memory serves, the side at the motherboard does) and how long you need to replace what you have. It would probably be easiest to entirely remove the damaged one you have and measure it to match up to Digikeys stock. If you have to go longer on what you buy that won't be a problem, you can tuck the excess in the back panel by the motherboard.

For solid information and the ability to download both the released stock firmware and software as well as modified and alternative software, head over to Voltivo's forum voltivo.com/forum/davinci. You can probably also get the "best" information on the board used from there as well since they needed that info to adapt repetier to the Da Vinci.

I have heard of 0032 and 0040 errors, but no idea what 8 or 10 means. Since you have the LCD working again, you should be able to get information out of XYZ. They have to know what the error means.
