Re: Display Problems...

The 780's were shocking for their display contrast and there was a mod for replacing a resistor which helped a lot, not sure if the circuitry is the same with the 796 but if you have no alternative it might be worth looking into?

I'm sure a quick internet search would yield details for the 780 mod?

Hi All,

Does anyone know if there is an adjustment for the Display Contrast?

My most favored 796 has become increasingly unreadable, especially in
any bright light.

I'm not speaking about the backlight, I mean the segment contrast or
how dark the characters appear one the screen.

I contacted Uniden and a replacement is unavailable and tech support
would not offer me any suggestion other then to send it in for repair
while agreeing that might be a waste as there are very few parts
available for any repair.

So I suppose I'm looking for any information regarding adjustment or
I'm looking to purchase a known good display panel for replacement.

You are welcome to contact me off-site at W6BTS@...

Tks,

Dave
