Default Climate Control Dimming

I noticed lately that the display on my climate control is diming. I can't even read it anymore during the day. I know this problem has been mentioned before but does anyone have any information on what I can do to fix the problem? Is there a TSB/recall on this? :banghead:

I got mine used(Gene's Kar Shop) a while ago, so I would figure about $120.00. New,(Regular Dealer) they are about $450.00. GM Parts Direct would probably be cheaper.
