[1000mp] Display Dies Again

Mon, 2 Sep 2002 07:42:27 -0400

Hi Tony and Mike...
The fix is on my web site at a slightly different address:
http://www.va3cr.net/settings%20and%20troubleshooting/display%20problems
.html
Look for "DISPLAY PROBLEMS" on this page.
I did some housekeeping over the weekend.

I posted that "fix" which is now up on VA3CR's terrific MP site.

It's only a "semi-good" idea and only if the fuse is bad (obviously).
So, check the fuse first. It takes no more than 15 minutes to get to it
even if you've never taken the radio apart (assuming you are so inclined
to open up the MP yourself)

If it's bad, bypass it and you can see the display come back to life.
What you do then is up to you!

If/when I find a suitable replacement, I'll be sure to post the info.
