I've got a VHF 2500i which occasionally decides its display doesnt want to work.
i know on the 7/800 variants, the display can be "jumpy" because its not making proper contact, and a common fix (aside from smacking the **** out of it) is to pry open the case slightly and reseat it.
This one however literally just blanks out. Backlight on display and keypad works just fine, keys appear to work. Just nothing on the screen.
I may try the pry it open and close trick... its not like this thing is still intrinsically safe, and its not actively used in public safety anymore, so no risk of something going wrong with it in the field.
