Hi guys,

So I've recently been noticing that my LCD display is extremely dim. For example, during the day, I can hardly even see it if I can at all. When I searched for this, I found a thread talking about how cold temperatures can often cause something like this, but I live in Southern California, it really doesn't get that cold. I also turned up the brightness via the settings menu and still no go.

Any ideas? I can hardly even see it in the mornings when it is still mildly dark.

 

Did you try pressing the star/moon key below the screen?

 

Which display, in dash? If it's in dash, i believe it's back-lit, so you may simply have a bulb out

 

yeah mine too same thing! i was gonna make a thread about it. i wonder how much and how i would go about changing the bulb. Mine got very dim, i hope its just the cold cause its real cold out here

 

You guys need a flashlight!! Lol! Just messing with ÿôū guys! I had the same problem but the brightness thing fixed it for me!

 

LCD screens don't have user replaceable bulbs. They are usually built into the screens.

That said, make sure you guys have the brightness up. The button is right there, the "Moon" button

Anyone would be dumb not to try this. I played with my brightness..its on full but my screen is STILL dull as ****. idk what it is

 

You'd be surprised...

 

Willdogs is right! We got people posting that they didn't know there was no more G35! And thinking the new G25 looks exactly like the G35! No offense!

 

I'll just throw this out there, but are your headlights on?

 

I had a similar issue earlier this year. A few mornings in a row, my screen was too dim to see. I was able to see it when toggling the day/night dimming button, but, of course, I didn't want to have to manually hit that every morning and evening.

It appeared that the light sensor that determines if the headlights should be on thought it was dark so it went into night mode even with it being pretty bright in the morning. Turning off my headlights brought the screen brightness back up.

I do drive away from the sun in the morning, so maybe the shadow was enough to trick the sensor. The issue only lasted a few days for me before returning to normal behavior.

 

Ummm, yeah, actually, a lot of them do. Almost all LCD displays in the gauges on vehicles have backlit LCDs.

BACKLIT is the key word I used. These screens have bulbs behind them

Again not saying that's the problem here, but since no one has clarified WHICH screen it is, or posted a picture................
