Re: Digital clock losing time?

["S.Coleman" <deadbolt@mindspring.com>]

I just replaced mine two weeks or so ago.  Mine did the same thing and then
one day,...nothing....just dead!   I grabbed a couple of these from the junk
yard and took them apart. (to figure out what the hell I was doing/breaking)
I also removed the little green piece of plastic from behind mine so now all
of my lights on the dash are white v.s. the gloomy green of the past.  You
might just try replacement.
HTH,
Chris
