Sat/Nav flip up screen

Guys can anyone advise on my sat nav flip up screen, very dim during daylight even though the screen brightness is at its maximum and the side lights are off, any ideas would be very helpfull apart from get a new one
cheers
 
Does it still dim even more when you switch the lights on?

Does it react when you cover the mirror "light" eye to simulate darkness?
 
pvr when I put the lights on you can see a little change on the screen but not worth talking about, not tried the mirror test will try that tomorrow, thanks for your help
regards
 
pvr checked this today for the flip up screen by covering the mirror light eye but screen doesnt change at all, also checked with the lights on and off theres not really any change, it is visible in daylight but thought could make it brighter but as I said the settings for the brightness is at maximum.
cheers

Mine used to take a while to get bright, especially when the ambient temperature was low (below 5c) but it did eventually get to correct brightness.

That probably doesn't help you but your post did remind me of this foible.
 
If you get to the point of of stripping the screen down, I have a spare that you could try, see if it's any better
