IC910 Display problem

[W4TAS]

I have an ICOM IC910 and the display is fine if viewed from above. When face on, the display is faded and unreadable. When viewed from below, the display disappears. A ham friend has a IC910 with the same problem.
Any suggestions?

There is a conductive rubber between display and PCB.
To fix that you need to disassembly front panel and clean that rubber strip, pcb contacts and display edge where that gum goes.

I just ordered the new “elastomeric” conductor strips from RADIO.PARTS for under $5 a piece. Icom Part # 8930052490
