Default Edge Evo issue

Searched, but didn't find the issue. The lettering perhaps lcd? Seems to be fading. I've changed all back light settings color etc with no improvement. My fear is that it will completely disappear an never be able to reset to stock. I think my only option might be to unplug and only use to program. Just seeing if others have had this problem. Thanks in advance.

For the best answer call Edge directly. They have great customer service.

I've tried both min and max and at max contrast with red, I can see ok, with contrast and green, I get virtually nothing. It just happened all the sudden. Good idea to call, no warranty, but maybe they have ideas.

I would set to stock, remove it and either call PHP or Edge.

Not sure if this helps or not, but mine will fade during hot summer days. I usually unplug my edge from the OBD port for 5 or 10 minutes and it's back to normal when plugged back in. Hope that helps.

Mine fades a little when it's hot also. But it always comes back to normal once it cools down. Sometimes when I turn the AC on after a few minutes it will start coming back
