[ICOM] 756 Pro Display Problem

[Phil Krichbaum]

Sorry Larry, my mistake. I have a PROIII and about a year ago the 
display suddenly became very weak then totally dark in a very short 
time. Fortunately it was just the power supply for the TFT display and a 
relatively inexpensive fix compared to replacing the display. I've not 
heard of anyone else that has had the same problem.

>>>    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
