Quoted from Foxxstone_80:When i was having issues with mine, I replaced the recommended transistor per pinwiki and that didnt fix the issue. I searched other threads on here and found the asssociated resistor can be the issue....pinwiki doesnt really explain that. Here is my thread on it.

$1.95 for twelve 100k ohm 1/2 watt resistors from the local electronics store and my displays are good as new. Amazing!
