My first "idea" is that you need an 8K ROM module. Club 100 should have them, or someone else around here can set you up. 24K isn't too pathetic, but you may as well get it up to 32K.
My other idea is to check to contrast knob, not to insult your intelligence or anything. If your display is dead then I don't know how you should proceed.
