Display Not Working STR-DH820

[whitestu]

My DH820 AV receiver works perfectly except the display on the front of the unit is comletely blank. It worked perfectly until last week. I'd be really surprised if it has failed as the thing still works. Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi. 

I have got av receiver str dh540 and had a display problem. The display was off when receiver turned on, then after some time it appeared. So cut the story short - opened and after some pushing and pulling it appeared that one soldering contact was loose. Few dabs with soldering iron and the problem solved. I will try to attach pictures of that issue.

Well done. Those are classic dry joints you have there. The pin next to it is also suspect... look how the solder is cracked in a ring.

Same fault on STR DN1040

I’ll get the amp open later, for now though a slap on top will do the job.
