  • Remove the thermostat and gently reseat any ribbon cables or connectors between the display and main PCB.
  • Update firmware if a known issue with display brightness is documented by Schneider Electric.
  • If the backlight remains dim or flickers despite correct voltage and connections, the LED backlight or driver circuit is failing; replace the thermostat head unit.
