   board.It was very easy to    
   take the back off and circuit board off.  Total time involved was less then 15   
   min. After doing this and plugging radio in the lcd was as new with no   
   glitches or missing digits in the lcd display.again it was a quick and easy   
   fix and it worked.also agree    
   that c crane knew of this issue with lcd display and should of had Sangean fix   
   this problem as this radio is very expensive.   
      
   This is also a good point; because the display failure is caused by water   
   vapor, do not locate your radio somewhere high in the kitchen (our C Crane   
   failed atop the refrigerator where it lived).  And if you have a failed   
   display, you may be able to    
   remove just the display and put it into a bed of rice or with silca gel packs   
   for a few days to suck the water vapor out of the display.  Good luck!
