You could replace the display but before doing that, check the interface board that the lcd plugs into. I had one burn up and the 1st symptom was half the panel going light. Part # is FM4-6690

Yupper...that'll fix it. Inverter pcb. Make sure the jumper on the new board is in the correct position. There are 2 types of LCD displays. If its blank after installing it,move the jumper

In this case the machine has done 155k copies and it was never opened

Copy count doesn't make a difference here. The one I had go was in the low 100k"s and I have others with 600-700k that have never had to be changed.

Re: Dark Display Control Panel

as noted by Canuck----------

The new style LCD Inverter PCB (Part Number FM4-6690-010) now has a jumper, JP4, on it. Also, there may be one of two different style LCD's in the machine, each with a different style connector to the Inverter PCB. There are two positions for jumper JP4 depending on which LCD you have.

If the LCD Display's connector plugs into J2 on the LCD Inverter PCB, the jumper for JP4 should be positioned all the way to the left for the LCD Display to work properly. Please refer to the picture below:


If the LCD Display's connector plugs into J3 on the LCD Inverter PCB, the jumper for JP4 should be positioned all the way to the right for the LCD Display to work properly. Please refer to the picture below.

Re: Dark Display Control Panel

On ir 3235 the display is pretty dark, but still see everything, but difficult, everything works OK, even the potentiometer has a little effect on the intensity of "lightness",i tried replacing the entire control panel (from other machine ir 3225),as well as the inverter PWB, but the problem remained the same, whether the solution could be a new Main Controller PWB ??????
