The display of my car audio (radio and CD & MP3 Player) recently became very dim that I can hardly see. (I mean the "letters/characters" of the radio channel and song). Can somebody please give me some advice on how to fix the problem? I bought it about 2 years ago. The brand name is Dynex and is not a famous one.

Is the display a VFD (vacuum fluorescent display)? If so, then it relies on a HV power supply to light it up. Have you checked the condition of the solder joints around the display itself? How old is the unit? These displays do wear out eventually.

Thank you for your advice. I install it myself. At the beginning, it was normal. The problem just happened around a few months ago.

Thank you for your suggestion. I also guess so. I tried to resolder all the pins except those from the CPU/IC. The problem still exists. The pins from the CPU/IC are too tiny that my soldering iron cannot do that. I believe it need a hot air gun which I don't have it. Do you have more suggestions for me?
