Just picked up a used Mark 7. Works great, except I noticed yesterday the display appeared to be failing. Parts of it work, parts of it don't. Not sure where to start with this:

Thanks, Ed. Looks like that app will do the trick! I'll try it.

I bet you are right. I tried to take the screws out, 3 came out fine, 2 are stuck in there like me on mashed potatoes and gravy. I soaked them and will try to back them out later. Thanks!

It would go down, but I had to pretty much lift it up myself without any help from the strut, and the strut would only allow it to go up a little over halfway to t...

Bill,
