2014 purchase 750W BBS02 - one of the first from Paul at EM3EV.com. Paul's 52V battery, C695 four button display. Runs like a champ and Paul has been great on support (we put together a buying group of 27 motors that demonstrated to entrepreneurs that NZ was a great place to open a shop for ebikes). But now the market has moved on, and it seems the C695 is an antique as dealers now offer built-in motors with less interest in kits.
A few weeks ago, while riding in the village, the motor quit on me. The display went blank, no power to the motor, dead. Pedal home time.
As I have several bikes, I began a process of elimination and found it was the C695 display (buttons OK, something inside the display case). I also discovered that if I unbolted it and tapped it, power would come back, suggesting something is loose inside. I swapped out the C695 for another.
Worked fine for a few weeks, then when I needed it to go to town, the replacement display came up with the Error 30 when I first powered up. Process of elimination confirmed it was the display. So I put the original intermittent display back on and it seems to work fine, although I expect it will quit again when I am furthest away from home. I have three choices and need advice on all three:
Thanks in advance

I have three choices and need advice on all three:
- Anyone know if intermittent failure is common inside a C695 four-button display and if so, can it be repaired?
- Anyone know if an Error 30 (confirmed as in another C695 four-button display) is repairable, and if so, how?
- Anyone have any recommendations for a replacement at a reasonable cost, either C695 or something compatible?
Thanks in advance
