To add to this thread.... I just found a kit that had this problem. I guess the cap was overheated when my student soldered the kit together last week. A .0022uF ceramic disc is working as a substitute.

That little cap has something to do with display timing, if it is bad only part of the display will light up.

Good catch.
Have Fun!

Same problem here.  I had finished my third board for this season, and it had this problem.  Removed cap and replaced with another one.  Presto magic,  It works.

I spent the last 2 days trying to figure this out.

Thanks for info
