(don't ask me how I know) The parts are all common and can be replaced by those who are competent in that type of repair. Years ago I had a young woman in our repair shop fix the Digital Display of my Corsair-II.

I figured I just needed to re-seat the connectors which I did.  When I turned it back on, the dial lights flashed up brightly and then dimmed.  At that point, all of the LED’s on the panel were lit and nothing else.  Any suggestions on what I should do now?
