my clock only displays part of the numerals, just the odd line or two of the numerals, the globe is o'k and lit up. Could this be a faulty earth or is it a throw-away-job.?
Any clues????

my clock was dim on all digits and it was just the light bulb in back, pretty easy fix. If you just have partial numbers my guess is that the LED display is going. If you are any good at electronics you could open it up, maybe it's just some bad solder joints. If not it's prob time for a replacement.

that's my thought also Shane. Also Shane my homemade roof rack is almost finished, I know you wanted to see it and have info on building one yourself. I am having probs posting images, and attaching files. So when I get it worked out I'll post them.
cheers Mario

My clock displayed just parts of the digits and it was broken. I had to replace it. You might still have a burned bulb, but if only parts of the #'s are showing, you need a new clock.

That's great about the rack, my email is [email protected] if you want to email me some. You can also email them to the Discoweb guys and they'll put them in the gallery.
