A/C display going dim

I've noticed the display (02' Z06)for the A/C-heater is going dim, acually at times you can't see it. If I tap on the screen a few times it comes back, but then goes away again. Sometimes when I first crank the car the display is bright and normal.
Any ideas or a fix?

Apparently this is a fairly common problem.

I will fix for free

I just fixed one last week. Cold solder joints and easy fix. If you are going to Corvette Classic at Texas Motor Speedway 19th of may I can fix it there. If not PM me and you can remove and send to me for repair, only cost shipping each way.

Apparently there's a fix, but I had mine replaced under my extended warranty.

its an easy fix really. I was in the HVAC unit replacing the lights with LED lights and it was pretty easy. Once you have the thing apart, you will see these little black modules and sometimes, one of those solders come loose and cause what you are seeing.
