Anyone had the problem with the meter on a Whites Eagle Spectrum going blank?

[piggman1]

Lately my VID meter on my Eagle Spectrum will go blank after using it for awhile. You can't read anything. It doesn't seem to effect the machine, you just don't get any reading. You can turn it off and then back on, and the meter works again for awhile. At first I thought it was this heat that was effecting the meter, the way if you leave a LCD display in the hot sun and it blanks out untill it cools down. Has anyone else had this problem? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Read one of my other posts. Goes blank because pins to a ribbon wire harness have become oxidized - simply clean the pins. *one post tells how to open the case.
