BCD436HP/BCD536HP: Display failing

Bill1957 · Jul 19, 2014

Hi,
My BCD436HP LCD display seems to be failing from the bottom up-The bottom half of the display has weakened considerably since this morning with lines through the talk group ID part of the display.Has anyone else had this happen?

Hopefully, this isn't a precursor to another IC-756 type LCD failure.

Good luck with the warranty repair, if required

Good luck. Keep us posted. Curious if it is a cable or cold solder joint issue or an actual component failure.

joeuser · Jul 27, 2014

Oh great... Guess I'd better keep an eye on mine... Thanks for posting this

BCD436HP Update.

Scanner was gone for 3 weeks-Actually came back a week ahead of prospective return date. They replaced the display and all is well. Customer service was very helpful and the service dept.did a great job.

That's really good it's fixed I hope it stays working ok...I decided to return mine and get my money back from Amazon and I bought a Uniden BCD396XT instead and very happy with it..

Just curious, did you ever find out what caused the failure? Intresting, better keep a watch on mine, hoping i don`t hafta return mine for this problem too (fingers crossed

). N9NRA

Yeah now I'm wondering if it'll give out before or after warranty. Unless there was a specific glitch in yours

bwilborn · Aug 13, 2014

Maybe it would be a good idea to keep a running list of serial numbers that have this problem to see if maybe it was just a bad batch.

Probably the adhesive from the flex cable coming loose, watch the heat that you have the radios in.

Glad to hear the repair went exceptionally well, including the time lost without your scanner!
