Used to be the sort of thing i would match up in maplin.Thats a standard 16x2 display. there is an A/K connection for the back light at the side and then the connectors on top send and control the data its 4 or 8 bits and some controls. Goggle will Know.
If the signalling is working you can pick one up on ebay cheaply
There are two separate displays, an LED display, presumably for the alarm clock, and the LCD, for the station and tuning info. Presumably it is the latter that is not working. There are two parts to the LCD unit. The backlight, and the LCD and dot matrix driver. Does the backlight come on?
So its not getting power then.No nothing

Not even the LED clock? And for the LCD, nothing visible even when edge lit using a torch?No nothing
If its the back light shine a torch on the display and you should see the letters it will need to be live though so powered up.Clock works fine just bottom display not working
What’s an mt stick?
I’ll try the torch thing tomorrow, what am I looking for the actual info proving it’s the backlight?
Problem is I’ve had to unplug so much to get to the display if I need to power it up I’m not sure I can
