[QUOTE="Live Wire, post: 258605, member: 6133"] I'm thinking you may have to open the display back up again. There are two boards inside that have a multi-conductor pin connector between them. The first pin is the ground for the board which houses the light bulbs. If you look at that ground pin, you'll probably see it is discoloured from high heat. The pin socket gets a bit weak and heats up. I fixed mine by soldering a bypass wire beside the pin on one board, and another beside the socket. At the ends of these wires, I crimped on an insulated spade connector and socket, which enables the boards to be separated next time you need to get into the display. This should fix up the light problem. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
