Pod Display Fading

[TVRAndyB]

Don't know if anyone has come across this before but any advice or help would be appreciated.

Display fine when ingnition is switched on - contrast ok and all lines showing on each of the screens as you scroll through. Start up and everything seems ok but after a while the display starts to fade and eventually almost disappears.
Stop the car, leave it a few minutes - ignition on and screen fine again, disappears after a few more minutes driving!!

Any ideas?

I am sure someone posted this before, I'll try to find it for you.

When i changed mine it did this, but the opposite way round. Completely dark screen whilst cold, then slowly changed lighter

It was the contrast - had reset itself somehow. Try a few different settings and see how you get on?

I've just changed my lcd and when first on it is dark and slowly get better, I have tried the contrast but made no difference.

My screen is new too and does exactly this.

This happened to mine, talked to my specialist and Cath Mason, seems there is a bettery in the pod display and that was goosed, (coincided with my mileage re-setting itself to zero).

Thanks for this, sounds like it could be the issue. Do you know if this is one for the DIYer or is it best to get the specialist in???
