Wallie,
I think I may be having the same problem. My screen kind of appears to look greenish and dim. I know that doesn't help you right now, but I hope to get to the bottom of it. Let me know if you hear or find anything and I will let you know as well. Robert |

I have the same issue, i disconected the battery once and the screen corrected on reconnect e.g., I re-booted. it was fine for 6 months but now its a day by day issue, somedays dim, somedays perfect.
Ambient temperature has no effect...... Anyone know the problem or cure? Peter D |

Replace LCD screen
or Repair LCD screen if you have access to the manuals/knowhow/etc. or Send to Alpine Repair Center The entire On-Board Monitor Screen is made by Alpine so ring the central Alpine service facility in your country to find if they offer a repair service for the unit. Some countries do, some don't. |

I have seen this problem come from two different causes.
1. The CCFL lamp in the LCD has reached its end of life (get a new LCD) 2. The DC-DC converter on the main board has failed (most common cause). Open it up and take a look for burnt bits. They are obvious to the those who have a sharp eye! Finding the replacement part is the challenge. |

There most be something in the air. My 16:9 display is getting dimmer too. It seems related to temperature. It is darkest on cold mornings when I start the car. It usually gets a bit brighter by the time I get to the office. It is hard to read on cold days in sunlight.

My issue seems to be pretty day by day. I am not sure if it is temperature dependent. I have been less worried about it and busy fixing my license plate annoying alarms. One of the bulbs kept going off and I finally figured out it was because the bulb was loose.
Wish I had more info on the navi screen. I did try to take out and make sure all cables were tight and they were. I think I am about used to it anyways now. It is like permanently in a night mode (not because of settings though). I think it is just dying I might buy another one ebay....they are not THAT expensive...but you don't know what you are getting really so...its a risk. We'll see. Robert |
