Cricut Gypsy blue power light comes on, screen stays black
Hello,
The gypsy machine is made by Provo Craft and used for arts and crafts. I have one that I am trying to fix because the power light comes on, but the screen stays black. The company no longer makes or repairs this product. I took the device apart and see that a wire is broken that is part of the orange component that connects the screen to the mother board. I have uploaded images of the motherboard and the picture with the arrow shows where the wire is broken.
I do not know how to replace or remove this part or any other part. Please take a look and see if there is anything else that looks broken, I am very new at this. I really want to repair this because I have a lot of cartridges linked to this machine and they can’t be linked to another machine
Thanks so much!!!
i tried calling computer repair stores locally and contacted provocraft. No help thus far.
I cant find an item number for this device.
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

Same blue light, I took my wife’s Gypsy apart and yes the CR2032 battery was dead. I replaced it (CR2032) available everywhere. But before removing it I made sure the main power battery (the Li-ion 3.7 volt battery took a charge and had power). I fear that with the button battery (CR2032) dead, and the main Li-ion battery dead, any programming or firmware on the board has been lost. Thus the blue light. anyone know where I can download Gypsy firmware. I also assume that any cartridges loaded are now gone as well.

Hi I was wondering if you ever repaired your gypsy? Did you find the repair manual? I have the same problem with my gypsy I replaced the small cr battery but don’t know how to check if the large battery is taking or storing charge. Kind regards smoago
