[ICOM] 2725 DISPLAY

[Mike - 2007]

I have had a problem like that in a few older IC-901As, and some FLUKE DMMs
also.

The cure seems to be cleaning the LCD display contact points.

The LCD display (in my case) rests on a rubber contact strip.  The rubber
contact strip rests on the circuit board contacts.  Carefully dis-assemble
it all, clean it with alcohol, and carefully re-assemble it all.

It the rubber is stuck, DO NOT STRETCH IT by pulling on it.  Gently roll it
off sideways.

THANKS TO SCOTT MALCOLM of Malcolm Technical Support (mts at trip.net) for
suggesting the repairs and technique to me several months ago.

Good luck.
