Thanks! does the lcd display light up at night.... is it ran on batteries and or a plug in option??? does it show points of each gram example 28.1 or

The ac adapter is included but you can also use it with 6 AA batteries. The LCD display will light up anytime you use it. Thank you. Have a great day.

It is a simple display, i'm guessing LED. It will show an L when you change it to low & an H when you change it to high. When you first turn it on it flashes a number. The number changes. It could be 43 or 78, etc. It may be the percentage it is charged. I'm not sure.

It does have a lighted display. If I remember correctly it comes on when you adjust the volume and it displays a number. I think it goes off a few seconds after you stop adjusting. I'll check for sure when I get home and respond again.

Before I did anything I would make sure the batteries were good. Sometimes things like batteries and light bulbs can really throw you. Read the before you start again I guess. We did not have trouble but I have mine on a wood floor. But you said it didn't even turn on....so its not continually calibrating itself...batteries first I guess. Good luck

There are two possibilities. 1) the display assembly is losing calibration and the device can be reset to calibrate it. 2) the display assembly is defective and requires replacement.

I just took mine outside on a very bright day, and the numbers are still very visible. I know the phenomenon you are asking about, I've seen it on digital watches in the past. That does not happen with this unit's display. Hope that helps! It's a good little unit, I'm very happy with it....

The resolution is high (ie. it uses all the digits in the display) but the accuracy is low, as it is a clamp-style current meter. If you want accurate current measurement, you should use an in-line current meter (ie. a meter with three lead terminals)

Hi Ken. I am on my second one of these Accutire gauges. My first one lasted over 5 years. In that time I replaced the 3 coin cell batteries maybe twice. I believe they are only for the led display and light. If you get a L on the display, it means the internal lithium battery has finally drained too low. This is a separate battery from the coin cell batteries and I believe it powers the logic circuitry. Once it drains, the gauge becomes useless even if you change the coin cells. You either have to send the gauge back to Accutire to replace the battery, or buy a new Accutire gauge. It's probably better to buy a new one than pay for shipping the old one back but thats a personal preference. And don't waste your time trying to replace it. I tried on my first one but what I found out is once it loses its programming, its gone, even with a new lithium cell put in. I hope this helps answer your question. Happy Holidays!

The operation for the different settings can be a bit tricky, its illuminated, and its supposed to tell you the voltage of the batteries...by blinking. They could have just simplied it. Otherwise its a decent lite for under 60.00.

There's nothing on the display when not in use. HOWEVER it does blink when turned on and measuring. Not that this is the black LCD readout panel. No blinky lights.

It has a very faint LCD display. Like an old calculator with a dead battery.

No, the display does not light up. It is a very basic, but very simple to operate unit.

Probably nothing. If you can try looking at it from a different angle. The one I had, had a poor display that was hard to read unless you laid on the floor and shined a strong light on it. If it is new, I would return it.

This unit does not have the LCD display that some others models have - instead it has a number of small LEDs to provide operation status. The LEDs and the power button are blue for normal power. During power fluctuations they may glow red or yellow. For instance, if the voltage is high a red LED would inform you of that, while a separate yellow LED would indicate that the unit is doing it's job by trimming the power actually going to your components. Hope this helps.

I've never seen that on my display before. Change batteries maybe? Sounds to me to be a bad unit. I dont know of a reset button. But you can test it with boiling water. Maybe the manufacturer can help you. They may know how to reset it.

Yes, the display reading is in red text again black. When I come up the stairs at night with no lights I am able to see the reading of 0.

Sounds like a defective lcd display. The one I received worked right away. U may want to exchange it. Sorry about the tools. They weren't that great. Luckily I had my own.
