LCD command screen too bright?

So the command screen suddenly is very light and cannot be adjusted using brightness control. Worked fine when purchased a few months ago, now very light. Bad LCD? Bad ribbon cable for sensor? Needs to be reset?

Like my last post, I hate to take it to the dealer.

Thx

Mine was fine until one day it just got really light. Can't adjust the brightness it just stays really washed out. It seems to flicker a bit too.

That looks a lot worse than mine if it really looks as bad as that photo - that looks more like a loose cable or something?

Thanks. I am looking for info on the circuit board as well. I pulled the unit and checked the cable connecting in the back (perhaps there could be another cable inside the screen housing). I can buy a replacement screen for ~$87 but wanted to know if there could be something else before I pull the unit out again.

Where can you buy the LCD screen for $87?
