    However only part of the segments is lighting up. Any idea what could be behind this issue?
    Note I'm NOT talking the main display here.

    I think it has something to do with this band/cable peeling off of the glass. Manipulating with it I can see the segments going on/off. However, even when pressing on that peeled off part, I was not able to get all the digits displayed.

      What glue is being used for these types of cables? Any chance of undoing and re-gluing it back in properly?

        is a special conductive glue.
        we had a thread about it years ago when samsung tv's started failing in large numbers.
        there was also a thread at eevblog about the displays in fluke scopemeters.

        i think you can use heat to re-bond it but people did that on the pcb end - probably more difficult on the glass part

          clock radio / radio lifespan?
          by shelby5041
          hi
          ive got a modern digital clock radio approx 15yrs old

          my question is how long can a clock radio or a simple radio last ss farcas operating hours?

          since elec components have limited hour lifecspan i would imagine the radio or clock radio would eventually fail.

          the reason i ask is because i have my clock radio on radio function 24/7 for the past 7 years and its still working fine....i leave the radio on ..never turn off past 7years...thats approx 60000 hours

          it uses very little power just a few watts i would imagine that may have something...

          Vintage SONY Digital Clock Radio ICF-C12W no audio
          by UserXP
          Dear all,

          I have this old radio clock by Sony from the early 80s, I guess. The clock display works, but is dim, the function board appears to be OK - but the radio unit shows no signs of life. It doesn't produce a single noise, crack or anything from either FM or AM band. It's like it doesn't even power up.
          i opened the radio and it is full of some TRACON gray capacitors. They only have their negative strip printed, voltage and capacitace markings - no series, no temperature marking, nothing else.
          My question is, do you know of this brand of capacitors and how bad are...
