    One of the two handsets display now has a row of dashes which roll up the screen and a variety of miscellaneous characters flashing in the top rows. Otherwise the phone itself works to make and receive calls. GE support (Thompson) was useless. I got what I paid for.

SOURCE: Display screen unreadable. Removing battery

You have an (unfixable) LCD screen problem - the Liquid Crystal Display is dying (or broken by impact).
The best you can do (without a spare LCD screen and soldering/electronic repair skills) is hope that
there's a workaround that lets you use the phone without the LCD screen working.

Exploring a workaround: call the cordless from your cell phone, and see if you can answer by just using the keypad - if so, then the cordless works and it can be used until the whole phone dies (rather than just the LCD screen).
Most consumers just end up buying a new cordless about every year since these units take too much accidental abuse to last long.
If you decide to scrap the unit, save the battery for recycling at your nearest Home Depot.
They accept
old rechargeable batteries of any type - NiCad types used in cordless phones are especially toxic
(the (heavy metal) cadmium poisons spermatogenesis). Even better, save the battery for your
other GE 25932 5.8 GHz cordless phone - if you have a pair, then its mate's battery is old too.

The display is broken up and unreadable. Sometimes it is brown instead of blue. Would say that about 50% of the time, the display is not readable. Is this fixable?
Hello,

you could walk into any samsung service center and get the display replaced.

Hope this helped.

CHARACTERS ARE ILLEGIBLE ON THE DISPLAY WINDOW.
Hi

It seems the problem with display as well as to the charging unit. Display problem can be repaired only br replacing the display. And for your set, its not worth to get the display replaced. You can get the handset to your near service man to check whether the power charging unit works well.

Thank you

Phone works fine if you use keyboard on outside of case. When you open phone, LCD screen displays whitescreen permanently across entire LCD.
Your display circuit is broken, even if the LCD-panel,
seems to be ok the display is damaged.
This is a very common problem in Nokia phones.
The only way to fix this is to change the display.
You need a T-5 or 6 Torx Skrewdriver to do the job.

TI-89 menus (f1,f2,f3,etc.) a couple words are unreadable
Part of the display control has failed disabling sections of the display. You might check with TI to see if they have a fair repair price, this is not likely to be one you can solve.
The only possibility would be to disassemble the case to gain access to the display. If TI doesn't repair them at a fair cost, you might try to remove the LCD display from its mounting or, if it seems practical, to stress the display from the side. The contacting of an LCD is done with a silicone rubber strip with embedded fine wires that carry the control signals from the printed circuit board to lightly plated corresponding contacts on the glass of the LCD. The positioning of this strip is extremely critical and is dependent on precise pressure on the silicone strip. Yours may have 'slipped' but the error could be cause by poor positioning at the factory that has just now revealed itself. The difference between contact and no contact at the junction of the strip and plated glass area could be a couple thousandths of an inch. You may make it worse instead of better but if it is unreadable anyhow, it really doesn't matter.

Denon AVR-3802 Front Display problem
This can be either the display itself or the display driver IC havng problems. Something as simple as poor solder connections may cause this as well. Without seeing hte unit, it is difficult to say what the real problem is. If you can solder, try resoldering all of the voltage regulator ICs in the unit. These look like transistors and will be marked 7805 or 7812. If the voltages drift too low because of bad connections, the ICs can get "confused" and not work properly.

Keep us posted.

Using T9 mode
 T9 is a predictive text input mode that allows you to
key in any character using single keystrokes.
Entering a word in T9 mode
 1. Press [2] to [9] to start entering a word. Press
each key once for each letter.
For example, press [4], [3], [5], [5], and [6] to
enter HELLO in T9 mode.
T9 predicts the word that you are typing, and it
may change with each key that you press.
2. Enter the whole word before editing or deleting
characters.
3. When the word displays correctly, go to step 4.
Otherwise, press [0] to display alternative word
choices for the keys that you have pressed.
For example, OF and ME use [6] and [3].
4. Press [ ] to insert a space and enter the next
word.
Other T9 mode operations
 • Press [1] to enter periods or apostrophes
automatically.
• Press [ ] to change case. Lower case (No
indicator), Initial capital ( ), and Capital lock ( )
are available.
• Press [ ] to insert a space.
• Press the Navigation keys to move the cursor.
• Press [C] to delete characters one by one. Press
and hold [C] to clear the display.
Adding a new word to the T9 dictionary
 This feature may not be available for some languages.
1. Enter the word that you want to add.
2. Press [0] to display alternative words for your key
presses. When there are no more alternative
words, Spell displays on the bottom line.
3. Press <Spell>.
4. Enter the word you want using ABC mode and
press <OK>.

Siemens Gigaset 2420 Desk Staion LCD Display
That is a common problem with those types of displays, they are sensitive to heat, cold and any movement. They were used by Siemens, and almost all the other manufacturers during this time period. Unfortunately on this particular model, they are not soldered in, they are pressed on by a machine. So if you don't have a Zebra cable press machine ($1000's), and a brand new display, you can only resort to sending it in for repair. Sorry.
