Looking for a Triptek 3000 Key/Entry Pad

[Bill C]

I have a yr 2000 Triptek system with a bad key entry/pad.
Does anyone know where I can get one?

Here is a few pics of it.

Thanks
Bill

I would pull that pin, clean and solder and reinsert.  10 minutes with a soldering gun.

I cannot get the plug off, so tried soldering, but the triptek still does not work. I even put a needle in the hole where the wire went, jumped the needle to the wire and no joy.

Golly, it would be almost next to impossible to find a electronic device parts that are over a decade old.  Do your hip a favor and lighten up the load of your wallet by spring for a up to date device.

That’s what I’m thinking Chuck. Do you remember any of those data display devices that you can use an iPad with to display Eng data? I have to look into getting one of those if I could just remember what they were called lol

I use SilverLeaf which can also work on an IPad and Bluetooth.

How are you running VMSpc on an iPad and what was the cost?

[Dr4Film]

Bob, I personally use a 10-inch Mini Dell PC for my SilverLeaf display however I remember some time ago that Silverleaf was offering a Bluetooth version.

Here are two threads discussing the information.

I decided to abandon the Triptek and go with Bluefire and a tablet

Richard, Looks expensive and I can't find the parts they are speaking of in 2014. 

 

Bill, I think you will be happy. There are many GPS based features so be sure and get a tablet with GPS or a cellular iPad. I've had it a little over a year and there have been some growing pains but it works really well right now. Read at least the first 20 pages of the manual before you do anything. If going with Android my self and many others will recommend the Lenovo M10. The dongle does not play well with everything and the M10 is trouble free. There is a large community on irv2 and on the BlueFire forum.

Thanks for the tip Bob B

Were you able to plug right into your unit?  I’m not electrical, we are looking at is since the Aladdin is so bad for some of the items.

Yes it plugged right in, with a 9 pin to 6 pin adapter. Still learning how to use it.
