LP-100 Wattmeter Won't Boot up

Hi guys:

I have had an LP-100 wattmeter for a long time, and it was in my spare
parts bin, for whatever reason. I brought it back out to put it back into
service with my new K3, and it won't light up. The power light comes on,
but the screen stays black.

I believe I bought this assembled, at least I don't recall building it as a
kit. It has been some years now.

Does anyone have troubleshooting suggestions?

Tnx de Brian W3BW

I had the same experience last winter. What I found, however, was
that the LP-100 was "working" in that I could still use it over the serial
port, but the front panel display appeared to be dead. I'm guessing the
display died, but I have one of the early models with the now unobtanium
displays, so I figured I'd need to contact Larry. I'm not on the yahoo
group, so let me know what you find out!
