    Multimeter LCD Display not working

    I have a Sanwa CD-720C multimeter. Recently, it is not working. There is no display when it is turn on. But when I use the continuity test, it still can produce sound when the two leads are touching each other. Therefore, I suspect it is just the display not working. I have checked that the fuse is okay. What will be the possible cause? Can it be fixed?

    I would give the board a good clean with IPA and an old toothbrush. Some of the IC pins 13,16,18,20,21 looks like solder specs or something bridging things?

    The DMM IC is custom for Sanwa SAD8701 but it must use a charge-pump for the LCD voltage boost. I would check the four tantalums "AJ6". there should be more than 3V on at least two.

      After cleaning the board with alcohol as you suggested, the meter works again. Thanks a lot.

        Macbook Pro 14 2021 - A2442 - 820-02098-A - Internal display not turning on but MacOS working good
        by modtool
        Dear collegues,
        the owner of this machine brought it to me saying that suddenly one day the display didn't turn on anymore, he tought that all the machine was damaged but it turned out that the MacOS starts good and stays on, and that connecting it to an external display it works without problems.
        If you take a look into general settings, you can also see that the internal retina display is recognized as connected by the main board but for an unknown reason it doesn't turn it on.
        I've tried to put a bright light towards the screen but I can't see anything, any shadows or apple...

        Equipment Display Types
        by Mark R
        Most Displays I have worked with are of course LCD Or Blueish Fluorescent Types. I Have a Marantz PMD800 tuner with sort of a white display. The display area is a sealed rectangular shape in a Glass Case. Looks like some sort L.E.D. display only not your typical section number type. I picked up this Tuner cheap as the display is very Dim. In front of the circuit is a dull red Plastic lens.

        The display is very week and hard to see. I've got my DC 5 Volts allover and also a DC 32 Volt that runs some other section. Power supply looks good front to back. Not familiar with this type...
