Re: Help troubleshooting a 9010A

So I got both systems working, on to the next problem.

The display on one is missing a few of the lines (mostly the bottom right ones). any idea where to start?

The other, the display flashes random characters and beeps. Thing that ticks me off is that it was mostly working (one character was dim) and I unplugged the connector thinking the power was off. What damage did I do?
