[Elecraft] Problems with display on initial alignment

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone has come up with a similar happening on the first
alignment (Panel, control board and partial main board) I had
intermitant problems when I first put it together, so I dismantled it
and checked for bad joints, component values, etc. I found I had not
soldered a switch. That put right I put it all back together again. And
it almost worked. DISPLAY did not bring up the voltage/current values.
Tapping menu several times brings up a menu but its behavior is must
odd. Tapping menu again returns to the band and tuning is OK for a few
seconds, rate also works.....then up comes menu all on its own. Lots of
garbled numbers on the display looks like its switching between menu and

band very rapidly. I have no messages, Elecraft comes up OK then this
happens. I've had it apart several times looking for problems, but I'm
darned if I can see any. could a component failure cause this wierd
behavior?

Any help would be most appreciated, 73,

Pete/N9PT
