Galaxy 55 led fix???

[BenDare2]

On my 55's freq counter......27.x95.......the x has a couple sectors out....on the extreme right of the digit, so that the '1' does not light.....



So below 20, I only show27. _95/ 27._85/.....etc......



Is this possibly just bad solder on the back of this sector(s)......or maybe no fix........



It's just annoying sometimes.......thanks .......Ol'Ben

I totally understand how flickering or burnt out freq counter numbers can be like ...just kind of takes away the looks of the radio,kind of like getting a nasty dent on a car and will also bring down the price if one wanted to sell it. I really don't think it would hurt Ben if you lighty and carefully went over the leads with a soldering iron,there's a good chance you might get lucky there ? but chances are if that didn't fix the problem ? you could more then likely get a new freq counter for it.

Oops..

The center digit on the 5-digit counters is a tricky one. Might be the counter board itself, the connections from there to the display board, OR the digit itself.

Plugging in a spare counter module is about the only way to tell for sure.

I would check the boards well ,i have heard some problems with the soldering with these galaxy radios
