Sony RDR-HX710 HDD/DVD recorder dim display

[Jack]

The FL display is very dim on this unit.
I replaced all three electrolytics on the display board, but it did not
help.

Any experience on these??

Thanks for the advice.

I checked this voltage earlier and if my memory serves me correctly, it was
around -17v.
I will have to check that voltage again.
There was a small transformer on the PCB that looks like it is used to
generate this voltage and it had a 22 micro 50v cap on the output, which I
changed.

That would be a good thing to check. I have a couple Sony A/V
components that dim the display in its setup.

Yes, I did check this possibility too, no such luck ;-)
