How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before removing the control panel.
Steps to resolve:
- Adjust viewing angle: Confirm it is not just an angle issue; Siemens LCDs can appear dim from extreme angles.
- Reseat connectors: Remove the front panel and reseat the display ribbon cable on the interface PCB.
- Check for heat damage: Look for discoloration or warping behind the display that may indicate overheating.
When to call a technician: Dim backlight usually requires replacement of the display module or control board, which should be done professionally.
