After years of urging, I finally got us a new heated mattress pad. This one is modern, featuring separate upper and lower zones, plus a shutoff timer. Fancy!
Except one of the controls doesn’t turn on two of the LCD segments (top, upper left), so this is what 2, 3, and 5 look like.
I opened it up, thinking there'd be a bad solder joint, but everything looks good. Wiggling and tapping things didn’t reveal anything intermittent.
Could go through the process of returning and replacing it, but what a pain. I can read this just fine. “;^)

#electronicsFor a stubbornness reference, in the 80’s I moved into an apartment and my electric clock ran backwards when I plugged it in. Rather than try to get it going the right direction I learned how to read it.
