-41CV fading display
Message #1 Posted by Jim on 21 Sept 2003, 5:28 p.m.

The display on my -41CV is fading. I've never had this happen to a -41. What's usually the problem and what's the probable fix? Thanks.

Oh, yes, I tried fresh bateries, but I've never known a fading display in 41 associated with weak batteries. Plus, I had the unit serviced earlier this year and the battery contacts were fine then. I bought the unit from a friend of mine who didn't take care of it so that's probably part of the problem now.
