[Icom] IC 746 display problem

Mike,

The CCFL backlight, or the DC-DC converter that powers it, may have failed.
The converter may be similar to the one used in the IC-756. You can download
information on the IC-756 converter here:

As Ian, VK2ZCD, mentioned in his posting, the 756 LCD/converter failure is
well documented in http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ic756/

The screen is black, like a light may be out??  I can still see numbers and
letters on the screen if I'm right on top of it. I tried changing the "LCD
Contrast and LCD Back Light", but no go. Any ideas ?  Tnx...  73 - Mike K9MI
