Screen fading?

iHellFire · #1 Thu, April 26th, 2012, 01:27 AM

I have noticed, and its become more frequent, when I start the truck and my Gryphon initializes....the contrast on the screen like faded and almost gone! I go to the display settings and I can knock the contrast up one or down one and it instantly becomes readable but then like 3 seconds later its goes back to a very faded screen...anyone else have these problems?

I experienced the exact same thing. It worked fine the first week I had it back in March. I could go in and bump the contrast up or down 1 and by the time it got back to the main display, it wasn't readable anymore. I think I initially had my contrast around 40 when this was occurring. When I set the contrast really high, like 70, it looks bad on the "contrast setting" form but the main display is back to around what 40 used to look like. Since I can read it now, I never bothered reporting it to anyone.

Exactly same problem...to the T.

The problem is usually related to the thermistor on the board that senses temperature change and auto adjusts the contrast, to some degree anyway. If you're not able to get the contrast to stabilize, let me know and we'll get you an RMA# and have you send the unit in for replacement. You're close to the 1 Yr. mark, so if you're going to send it in please do it soon.

Take care.
