The display backlight started failing about a year and half ago and
failed altogether about 1 year ago. This made the LCD display hard to read. It is not possible to repair this problem without destroying the display module. The display module had a part number on the back and the manufacturer was Power Tip. Contacting Power tip and their distributors revealed that they did not have any of that part number in stock, and if they had them in stock the minimum buy was 250 modules. I tried again last week, one distributor had 4 replacement modules made by AMPIRE left over from some large order, and they agreed to sell them to me. I installed one and it looks good. The display contrast control looked best turned all the way to one end where the "on" bits (dark) had the greatest contrast to the off bits (light). The display looks just like the original yellow-green backlight color. I want to keep one other module as a spare but I'm willing to sell the remaining two modules to anyone looking for a replacement. The module cost is $25 and shipping will be $5 to $10 depending on where you live. I have PDF documents of the original and replacement parts if anyone is interested I can email them to you. I can email pictures of the replacement display in operation and photos of the modules if interested. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Hall" Date: Sat, 6 Dec 2008 02:27:27 -0500 Local: Sat, Dec 6 2008 1:27 am Subject: Telamon FAQ Telamon is a troll that has been haging around rec.radio.shortwave for a long time. Telamon is sometimes known by others in the newsgroup as "Tela-twit", "Telamonkey", "Tela-****" and more recently as "Tela-turd". Telamon thinks because he likes shortwave that he is in charge of this group. Telamon has once falsely claimed ownership of rec.radio.shortwave. Telamon has repeatedly called others names and will fill this newsgroup up in a flame-war without reservation. However, Telamon is easily offended when someone calls him a name in kind. Feel free to engage in teasing....because that keeps him busy from causing problems elsewhere on the internet. You may put Telamon in your twit filter if you like. Telamon appears to live in his mothers basement with a live internet connection, so you will see him posting here at all hours of the day or night. Play along with him if you want, or ignore him, or put him in your twit filter. But whatever you do, do not take him seriously. |

Hi, This article was posted originally in 2008. And Telamon disappeared during the rhf dictatorship. The poster posted the right way, though the subject header could have been more specific. There was no reason to dig up an old message to reply to. It's amazing that people think people will be still readging the newsgroup years later. Telamon was here for a long time, but most of these replies to old posts are to people I don't remember. And the new poster never seems to consider replying via email, though maybe that's not an option the way google is mangling things. Michael |
