48GX Annunciators
Message #1 Posted by Tony G on 4 Aug 2013, 5:05 p.m.

I’m new in here, and looking to see if anyone else has encountered this and possibly has a solution.

The alpha and left shift annunciators on my 48GX simply do not show on the display, although everything seems to work and it passes all the tests. Even though during the display test those two annunciators do not show.

Thanks!!

Defective LCD. More common on the blue displays than the black. They tend to fail stuck on, rather than off, with the later black version.

Thanks, mine is the black. I guess if the rest of functionality is OK, it's not that bad.

Thanks again.

Do they light up if you press slightly on the bezel between the bottom of the screen and first row of keys? If so, it may just be a slight air gap or some dirt that needs addressing.
