Check for a cap that is leaking in the display circuit. It should be

I took the whole thing apart.
I found a broken ceramic disk capacitor. Actually broken. Near the
display area. I replaced it, it was a .1 mfd, same as it was.

That didn't help. Inspection didn't reveal anything else obvious.

While I had the LCD out I tried it on the board a little moved it
around. It has those rubber conductive connections. I did get bright
flashes on some parts of the display, the word "AGE" lit up brightly,
so the display works
