Bobcat 753 LCD display

[Doggie]

Good Morning/afternoon from sunny Queensland Aust. I am brand new to this forum and am a little lost as to the protocols etc. Please excuse any errors on my part. I own a Bobcat 753, serial number 753-515846619 { wonder how old this makes the machine?],it has low hours and is in fairly good nick, however, the LHS upper display which has the hour meter and the error codes has stopped working, it seems to be back lit, but nothing comes up at all. I am also chasing a service manual{ some bastard stole mine} and would be grateful for any help. Thanks in advance Doggie

Welcome Doggie. Here's a service manual from ebay which originates from Queensland also.

Welcome to the site, i'm from Brisbane.
The one thing you can try with the display is to pull the connectors out from behind it and check for corrosion.
If it is just the back light, i believe the bulb can be replaced.... Not 100% on that, pretty sure i remember a post on it a while ago.

Before you go buy that one, let me look at what i have, look up my profile and send me an e-mail.

Thanks Tazza, I will email you later today. A little misunderstanding me thinks. The top left hand gauge panel seems to work, except for the hour meter and the fault code display. The back light comes on, but nothing appears in the display. I think/hope that it is just a loose wire or fuse or such. I will try and get the panel out this week end, and have a fiddle around. Thank you again for your help. Much appreciated. Doggie
