I started to play with my 805b the other day, and notice some moisture in the display. Removed box from genny and took it to the shop to 'have a closer look' As I was carrying it to the shop, water was dripping out of the front glass, well thats not good.
Get to the shop, take the back off, and whoosh, I make a mess out of my shop table with about 2 cups of water that came out of the display. Well crapola.
The water was about 1" deep in the display box.
So I continued to disassemble the unit to hopefully salvage it and get things dried out so that it would function again. Get it all broke down, and find the display looks 'odd', so i disassemble the display.... ugh.... where the water stood in the box on the display it had broke down the plastic film in the display. Wonderful now I get to 'try' to find a display.
Lucky for me, the part number sticker was not damaged. Have not found a place in the US that will call me back, so Amazon from China looks the best bet to gamble on to try to find another display.
Moral of the story, if the plexiglass on the front of your display has any hint of moisture, IMMEDIATELY tear it down and reseal the front glass to keep the moisture out.
While the plexiglass is out is a perfect time to use some headlight polish on it to get rid of that 'dirty' look from any CARC overspray.
