[Elecraft] K3S: LCD backlight is on, but no segments are lit

[Christopher Hoover]

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the response.

As I mentioned in my positing, I'm on "the line" with the support people
and have an active thread.

They want my rig for 2-3 weeks, which is not compatible with my travel
plans, so I'm looking for other ways to fix the problem.
