Unit works absolutely fine apart from this, not sure what the issue is. Tried contrast, doesn't make any changes.

Exactly. Totally Fried Trash.
give-me......
The problem is probably a bad display/segment driver..
Not really worth putting $$ into a repair, if the rest of the unit functions OK....
In addition to the 3 TFT EAS 911 units I have ---- working! --- I also have 2 that I use for parts to keep the "good" ones going...
Despite what others here may say/think about TFT products, I've had VERY good luck with them --- mod monitors, EAS endecs,, receivers, etc.

But I'm still confused: If the TFT EAS 911 units are no longer compliant and usable, why go out of one's way to keep them alive?
This must be another odd underground counter culture thing that most people never see like: Objectophilia, hyalophagia,
pica, militant preppers, flat earth groups, or Furries. Human behavioral anomalies have always fascinated me.
There are discord channels, youtube channels and similar communities related to EAS and NWS messaging
I guess it's like the whole ham radio Skywarn thing: It's raining here. It's snowing here. Currently no rain or snow.
Never mind that the government via the National Weather Service already takes care of that sort of thing.
they aircheck and sharing recordings of this stuff
I'm aware of that, so my mind is still intact thanks.
It amounts to public outreach initiatives to make a sector of the public feel like they're involved. NOAA feels doing things like this keeps the organization more top-of-mind with the general public. How do I know about this? Because one of my kids works for NOAA.
Some hams take it SO seriously like somehow the government is reliant on them reporting what's outside their window. Honestly? If it gives them a purpose in their lives, I think it's great. When thinking about it; I suppose it compares with someone who collects purpose-built, antiquated alert electronics. It's probably a highlight in their week when the EAS 911 rattles to life having received a weekly NOAA WX test.
Back in the day 70's and 80's NOAA relied on hams for exact locations of funnels etc during storms in Ohio. We tied all the repeaters together across the Northern part of the state and had a storm net which NOAA listened to in Cleveland during tornado watches. This was to end when doppler radar appeared because it was originally assumed doppler would always indicate a funnel's presents. Of course, it was learned that wasn't true but by that time ham radio was an old guys hobby and many couldn't continue the storm chase.
