The above fix didn't work for mine
the Radio Shack Pro-2055 Has A Well-documented Problem With The Lcd Display Going Out. Radio Shack Has Refused To Publicly Acknowledge This Problem, Instead Opting To Force Users To Pay A Repair Bill Which Usually Ranges From $75-$100 And Often Takes In Excess Of 3 Weeks.
When Sent For Service, Radio Shack Replaces The Lcd And The Units Works Again. However, It Appears The Problem Does Not Lie In The Lcd Itself, But In The Ribbon Cable/connector Going To The Lcd.
Here Is An Fairly Easy Fix That Has Worked For Me Every Time:
1. Gain Access To Front Pcb By Removing Both Covers And Front Face Of Radio.
2. Locate The Ribbon Cable The Goes To The Lcd Display.
3. Remove The Ribbon Cable From The Connector By Gently Pulling Up On The Connector And Sliding The Ribbon Out.
4. Using A Sharp Pair Of Scissors, Cut Off Approximately 1-2mm Of The Leading Edge That Will Go Back In To Connector. Be Sure To Make A Straight Clean Cut.
5. Reinsert Ribbon Cable In Connector, Clamp Connector Shut. (it Appears Some Pro-2055's Do Not Have A Clamp-style Connector. If This Is The Case Simply Reinsert The Cable Into The Connector As Far As Possible.)
6. Reassemble Radio And Test Display.
I Have Tested This Theory On Five (5) Separate Units (two Of My Own, Five Belonging To Friends Or Repair Customers) And Have Had The Same Result Each Time. The Display Works Again.
Before Shipping Your Pro-2055 To The Radio Shack Repair Center For A Costly Out-of-warranty Repair, It Won't Hurt To Try This Fix. It Has Worked For Me Every Time.
