[ICOM] 756 Pro Display Problem

[Larry Young]

Phil: Please be informed that the Bad display issue was only in some original 756's (Non Pro mono color radios). Icom has had no problems that I know of in their TFT color displays.
Cheers,

This is a common 756PRO problem and Icom ran out of replacement screens 
years ago.There is someone in the Netherlands that has  a fix for the 
problem but maybe a bit expensive but the rig is fairly worthless 
without a working display!

>>   My 756 Pro (1),display lost it's color when powering it up yesterday after 13 years of trouble free service.The text and numbers in the display are a pale blueish color and fuzzy. Other than that it still seems to function.I am currently in Thailand in a high humidity environment so possibly have an oxidation issue with a connector? Any ideas ? Peter,NO2R / XU7ACY / HS0ZKX
