Leaking Clock

Post by A Green Goddess » Wed Feb 10, 2010 4:56 pm

During the cold spell in January the display of the original 1996 Bongo clock started to have a black squiggle run from the top left hand cornerof the display. It has now moved to cover the last numeral of the time.

This is very Hammer House of Horror. My question is what has happened?

On the state of the art radio/cassette player, that wil pick up Japanese frequencies should it be taken back home. The factory fitted one. I should have made that clearer.

If its liquid crystal display (as opposed to LED display), then it's probably the liquid crystal leaking, due to a crack or delamination.

I would find the nearest skip ....... :evil:
