HI 

I bought my Penta 2 speakers few months ago from ebay , and both works perfectly but  one of the display doesn't show anything i checked all conection and every thing else which i thought might be the reason but no luck  . Is there anyone who can help me regarding to this matter , or any tips ? thanks

Depending on how you are using it - there should be a switch underneath for audio or video. Switch that over and the display may appear. If it doesn't, it's something else. I know this as I bought a non-working penta that the seller said was broken. I flipped the switch and voila.

I've had these displays (mk2) several times for repair.

The inner electronics becomes unreliable due to bad solder joints. But check the switch first. Another cause could be a powerfaillure in the amplifier at the bottom of the penta. If you swap the displays, then you can eliminate.

Sometimes it's the simple answer! Glad you're happy to enjoy them. They will need working on at some stage - new capacitors for the amp, crossovers and foam speaker surrounds replacing. Plenty of info here for all of that.
