For display irregularities, first order of business is
to clean the 
power connections on the back of the rig and the
contacts from the plug 
from the power supply with some Deoxit and pipe
cleaners.

Might not sound like the logical place to look for the
problem of freaky 
display behavior, but often it is the cause. Worked
for me, more than once.

Next I would clean and reseat ribbon connectors
heading up to the 
display area.

For hiss reduction, TT has a hiss mod that reduces the
drive to the 
product detector. Or check this post from W3TS, which
overlaps with the 
TT suggestions:

That "product detector mod" makes a HUGE difference in
the listenability 
and good audio behavior of the radio. Well worth the
trouble.
