Default HELP - Temperature Display Lighting Problem

The display for my temperature control has faded and cannot be read.

I tried adjusting the lighting level; however, this did not address the issue.

Any ideas concerning a solution?

Thanks.

This is a well known and easily fixed (if you can solder) problem. Search the forum for "Dim HVAC fix" for the DIY.
Cheers

Go to C5 tech and at the top there is a DIY sticky for the HVAC dim display fix post 20 I believe. I just fixed mine friday and it did the trick I had numerous resistors loose on the board.
