Mechlyfe - Paramour SBS Mod dimly lit display

[Led Hendriani]

The info can barely be seen!
Any ideas as to what to look for when I open it up?

I read the instructions and there is not an option to change how bright the display is. It otherwise works like it should...

Thanks!

@ShowMeTwice - You have one of these, don't you? I think so (but am not sure). I never made the jump and thought you might be able to assist.

Yes, I do have one. It's a nice little SBS.

@Led Hendriani, looking at mine now, there isn't a setting to adjust the display brightness. The settings menu is pretty generic.

My suggestion would be to check the screen connector to the logic board. Perhaps it got loose?

When you open it up, check all the connections. Make sure all the solder points are solid.

Good luck!!!

Sure
What questions do you have?

Whoops... now I see it was not directed at me!

So were you ever able to fix or at least find the problem?

No
When I took it apart all seemed solid and especially no eliquid was in there... must be something compromised on the board...
I am just grateful I somehow managed to get the 1 medium and 2 small buttons to lay in there correctly and put it back together and will just use it at home where I can faintly see the screen since I can't see anything once outside! Was going to buy various other units but there is always a compromise... I will not buy any unit that only fires for 8 seconds is the latest....

It is a shame since it has been my favorite sbs...

I've had screen dimming happen on two different mods. Pico and BB. Both cases it was a screen problem. I was able to replace the screen on the BB, the new screen plugged into a socket on the board. Tried on the Pico but the screen was soldered to the board and there was no way to solder in a new one.

I'm not familiar with your mod. If it's a plug in type you might be able to pick up a new screen and replace it.
