Good evening house, I just purchased some power units while returning from work, on getting to my Pre-paid meter box to load in my token, I found out that the screen was blank, I typed numbers but nothing displayed and this is the first time I am observing this in four years of usage. Although, there is no power supply at the moment. Please Nairalanders what could be the problem?

Thanks chief. The electrician I called said it can’t be fixed but electricity unit will never end. Like free light for life?? He said yes.

I kind of doubted him but I don’t want Ikeja electric’s Wahala

He was doggone right. But I had it fixed the following week because those officials do random inspections & I did not want them to make away with my meter. I was told I could be whisked away too because it’s a very serious offense with dire consequences.

Anyways, I don leave Nigeria for them …lol
