Sunfire TGP 5 display issue

Hey guys,

I have a Sunfire TGP 5 that I purchased new a few years ago. It has been great with no issues.

The display is very dim for some reason, and I thought someone here may have ideas of how to fix the issue??

The dimmer works and I have cycled through all settings with it and on the brightest I still can't see it unless I walk up very close to it.

Is there LED's or something that can be replaced fairly easy??

Thanks for ideas.

    Sounds like it would be a simple fix but if not, the boys over here will steer you in the right direction. They are always modding/repairing gear.

    In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence.

    The best way to enjoy digital music reproduction is to never listen to good analogue reproduction.

    Give it some time... it is still the holiday season... Bill Flannery would be another guy to reach out to.
