Default A/C display Hmm...

I just pulled mine out to check the solder and everyone of them look good through visual and flashlight.

Are the cracks that small you can't see them without a magnifying lens?

My display won't light at all, everything else works right.

They are not cracks......The solder actually is lifted from the surface contact. When you solder one side, which is still holding it in place, it will move off the board, because the other side is not making contact.

mmmmmm......does that make sense......let me read it again.
