Thanks Brian,David and Tom for the tips, I took it apart this morning,
checked the internal battery 3.1 vdc, checked all the connectors, all seemed
ok , but the display was still scrambled. Then  checked, powered up and
found when, I applied finger pressure , to the entired ribbon cable , on the
back of the display board, the correct readout appeared. It seems like the
ribbon cable has become seperated from the small display circuit board. It
appears to be tacked on to the board, so I'm not sure how to repair it? Any
idea's ?
