Display brightness

27 Dec 2011, 15:07

Hi,

the display of my Fantom X7 is very dark when powering on the synth and is hard to read, this happens since a few weeks now. It is getting brighter sometimes after some time, but not to the level it used to be.

Does anyone have the same problem and how can it be fixed? Can the brightness be adjusted in general, and if so how?

Or does someone know where to get a new display, including a detailed part name or number?

Thanks and regards!

Hi. It's a fault that sometimes develops on the fantom.
My x6 back light doesn't work until maybe 30 mins after I switch it on.
My x8 has never had a problem and works every time
I read about a DIY fix on these forums but it wasn't easy to do and wasn't guaranteed to work.
So I decided I'll live with it how it is.
Regards

I noticed the screen on my X6 sometimes can be darker on start-up but it always returned to its regular brightness. I wonder if temps have something to do with it?

Temps were mentioned in the thread I watched. I've had mine in freezing cold and also hot conditions and it made no difference to mine. It always starts up without it lit and time wise it can take seconds to hours for the backlight to work. Regardless of storage temperature.
Kind regards.
