I had the display replaced a couple of years ago after a couple of segments
"burnt out". Had to be shipped to Australia with special packaging, due to
the minute radioactive material in the display. Cost about $800 AU.

I now hold my finger of the LCD so the display does not flash brightly when
the unit is turned on.

I had our display replaced by our Avionics shop a couple of years ago.
Narco shipped the part to him. This was reinforced by the Narco rep I
talked to at AOPA.

Same here. We've had several of these displays replaced, at a parts
cost of well over $300 per unit. We don't buy Narco radios anymore,
having spent much more than the original purchase cost on them to keep
them going.
