Re: Outgassed display perhaps? Advice needed



I would hate to ask for a display, and get it all gunked up with solder only
to find out that it's something else. I may just have to let the moths out
of my wallet and roll the dice...

Thanks!

Unfortunately, trying another display is next step and easiest. Anyone
near you that you could borrow one from ? LTG :)

I have a Williams System 11 display (D-11610) and Display #2
(alphanumeric) is not working at all. It is totally black without even a
flicker. I checked the pins from display #2 and it looks as though all
pins are have continuity to it's associated component. (including the +90V
and +100V)

I would venture a guess that the alphanumeric display itself is bad, but
am unsure how to prove it without buying another display. I stuck an
oscilloscope on the leads and it appears that it is getting some signals.

Can anyone lend some t-shooting advice?

thanks,
