[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 481335, member: 8767"] I had a coil problem with an ACE 250, no change to the screen, but did get odd readings to none at all when using the machine. Coil replaced and all fixed. I do get screen fadeout with low battery capacity, have you put in a brand new set of batteries and checked the battery contacts are tight against the battery ends? Check for cracks or breaks of the battery contacts themselves, could even be a cold solder contact of wiring. Lastly the way they are constructed the screen makes a contact with the circuit board internally, maybe a poor contact there, dust can play a part in that. ALL the above is a fast job to check if you work on these things, just what you may be charged for it, I can't tell you how much. I just doubt it would be the coil causing a disappearing screen display. Disconnect the coil and see if it happens, screen should stay on even if the coil is disconnected, turning on your machine with no coil for a short time should not hurt it. [/QUOTE]
