Burglar alarm problem

[F]

And... fingers crossed, the reset seems to have done the trick. Thank you, and please thank your friend.

I'll tell him, and thanks for the follow up.

I always prefer to repair than replace[1]. It's not the money, it's the satisfaction of been able to do something other than joining the throw away society.

Incidentally, where it says 'SHED', think Swiss Chalet - it will help to put it in perspective ...

I don't fancy the screeching from the sounder when it takes an age to extract them install the new panel, and then reinstall!

Nothing to it:-)

A sharpie pen to mark off the cables with dashes, several photos before you start to disassemble and off you go.

The cables at the top right are mostly +12 and 0v using yellow and blue cores with an extra cable using the red and black cores.

Take more photos if you need and I will talk you though how to swap the panel.

I have swapped hundreds of panels and it would be rude not to pass on any tips I have learnt from doing so.
