I had a TS-440S and it had the same problems. Sometimes just decimal points
and no numbers; sometimes rolling numbers on the display. I think the
processor had some issues as well as the PLL. At times on 10m and 15m, it
would just draw huge amounts of current and blow the fuse within tenths of a
sec.

Last summer, I took a close lightning strike and it destroyed the radio.
Replaced it with a new FT-897D.

Good luck.
