Greg: Sorry to hear of your needing a replacement display for the 756. This is a common problem with that radio. Please go to Adams Icom page at: http://www.ab4oj.com/icom/main.html ,and scroll down the page, and you will see links to other web sites regarding the 756 display problem. The replacement display module is expensive 185 Euros plus shipping to the US. skills in surface mount technology are also required. Another suggestion you may want to think about, is to use a laptop computer as a display, and remotely control the radio via the CI-V port using Ham Radio Deluxe software which is free. Actually this way you get a much larger display. Even buying a used laptop and CI-V interface may cost less in the long run. AS I live in Raleigh, NC if you are up this way, I would be happy to demonstrate this to you. Good luck, Larry K4LXV
