I just received my VFD2041, and noticed a silver splotch in the lower left hand corner, looks kinda like solder, or a hotspot on the (glass?). Anyway, i have yet to power it up, and was wondering if that is supposed to be there.


EDIT..here's a picture of what i'm talking about...it's uncompressed so bear with me

I've been asked this question over email at least 10 times now... you should include a little piece of paper with your vfd's henry that has a lil arrow poiting to the spot saying 'yep, it's supposed to be here' :smile:
