My pro-106 screen is blank. The scanner is still scanning and receiving freq. I can listen but the screenv is blank.
Can this be fixed and is it worth it.

Not sure what the problem is but I am sure it would be worth sending for repair. It may be a broken connection. For the $20.00 diagnostic fee. I think that is what it is- it is worth the trip to Ft. Worth.

You might want to check to see if your contrast setting changed.

I know you may be doing this blind, but hit

PROG then F3 then F3 again to restore the contrast setting to default.

Then hit F1 to save and exit

blank screen on pro 106

Be for you send your scanner in for repairs, try this first. with scanner on push PGM then GLOB, then look at your CONTRAST NUMBERS, if it is on #1 the light is to low to see any thing on your monitor. Push the
RIGHT ARROW till it hits # 4, the larger the # the brighter it gets, be sure to hit SAVE after words.
hope this helps, jbxfire

How can he tell anything if his screen is blank? He's not seeing anything.

If the screen light is turned off in the GLOB file, you can NOT SEE ANY THING on the screen .You have to go to the GLOB file & turn it on or up by hitting the right arrow 3 or 4 times. Once you get to the GLOB file it will be at that point,
just hit the right arrow. jbxfire

If you are using Win500 software to upload files to the scanner be sure to play around with the contrast setting. Mine is set to 16, it's comfortable for me.

Thanks for all the advice, I think I need to send it off the backlight is on but there is
Nothing on the screen. When it first happen I turned it off and on a few times and the screen seemed normal. Then
I looked at it and it had crazy blocks and symbols then it went
blank. I hope RS will take without any problems and fix it.

Blank screen PRO 106

If you have your receipt it should be no problem, unless you have had it for awhile. Good Luck, jbxfire
