I'm ot sure if this is helpful because I can't see any of the original attachments. What does your display look like?

The fix was always to replace the display like this guy covers: https://youtu.be/wXQdo42C6pE On Sat, Jan 15, 2022 at 1:25 PM The MacDougals via TriEmbed < [email protected]> wrote: > The display blinked back on at full intensity for a short while yesterday! > > I believe it is the back light of the LCD that is the issue. > > > > ---> Paul > > > > > > > > *From:* TriEmbed <[email protected]> *On Behalf Of *The > MacDougals via TriEmbed > *Sent:* Saturday, December 18, 2021 3:02 PM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* Re: [TriEmbed] Substitute transistor > > > > I replaced the transistor with an exact match from ebay and a couple of > electrolytic caps (at Carl’s suggestion). > > The display is still dim.
