Hi all
I have just acquired a Corsair II, and am very impressed with it so,
far. However, in two of the 7 segment displays, the LED's are not
lighting. If you think about the digits 2 and 3, its the bottom segment
in each of them, and in the Tens and Units of MHz.
I am guessing the problem will be either a dodgy connection, or similar
dry joint type of affair. The previous owner has replaced a number of
electrolytic capacitors in the display, FWIW.
Apart from the dodgy connection / dry joint is there anything else I
should consider ?
Mine suffers from this about every 12 months or so. A poor contact
on the display connector is the culprit (in my case anyway) some
contact cleaner cures it for a while.
