The display has become very dim on my Sharp R320FQ Carousel Microwave. It used to be very bright and easy to see, but it started to flicker a little and now it is very difficult to see. It does not flicker any more but is very dim. Is there a way to increase the brightnes or a way to fix the problem. Microwave works great, just hard to see the display.

There is a common fault with the ribbon cable between the LCD display and the driver board. Where the ribbon cable joins the driver board the connections deteriorate and i found on a forum that heat fixes the problem. I ran a lighter rapidly (to spread the heat) along the join and this fixed the problem. I now have a brand new microwave for free :)
