Odd luck, or am I just the only one who cares?

My car radio has a bug. It's started displaying a comma in the middle of the time/frequency, e.g. "1,1:15" or "1,00.7". Since it disappears momentarily with the rest of the digits when the display changes, I'd guess it isn't burnt into the LCD. It has only just started doing this, too.

Wow, you got one of those glowbugs, too? I had one but it was a little bigger. It made my 0s look like 8s and 1s look like +s. I finally opened up the LED cover carefully--be sure to be properly grounded--and pried the little guy off. It was pretty frazzled from having current run through it nearly constantly because I just about always listen to 90.9 on the way to work but it shook it off pretty quickly and crawled off. Sounds like you got a baby one. Rescue the poor thing!
