The keys are also very inconsistent and in some places gummy now after usage.

Have you ever contacted Michael (michael@swissmicros.com) about any of these issues? All SM calculators come with a 5-year warranty and most, if not all of these issues would be covered. I'd say do so ASAP while hopefully still within the 5-years from purchase. Having made some modifications yourself to the device could lead to issues, etc. however I'm sure Michael will help you find some satisfaction, no SwissMicros owner should be unhappy with their device.

I’m unfortunately six months out of warranty, but I should definitely shoot him an email at least about the display, as that issue is very recent and the most noticeable besides the snap disk wear. All things considered, it’s taken a very respectable amount of usage over the years and I’m glad he’s all in on keeping up production.
