Thanks for all the information and advice. I'm happy to report one more m100 is working. Two of the caps I had replaced c82 and c85 had leaked, damaging the circuit board on top. I didn't notice it during my recap, lesson learned to look more carefully next time. Underneath c82 was a small

What about voltages at test points? And as a precaution I would change all black capacitors on the board, they are almost certainly bad

It might be the contrast dial. I have an NEC unit that goes blank until I turn it all the way up. You should be able to check that with a multi-meter. Could be the actual screen though. Kurt On Fri, Jul 5, 2019, at 10:34 AM, George Hines wrote: > Sorry I should have added: > > Ther screen

Sorry I should have added: Ther screen wasn't working before I started the recapping and battery replacement, so I don't think I made it any worse. And to be clear, I can't get any response from the screen at all no matter what I do: No flickering or darkening or flashes. Thanks in advance
