[ICOM] IC-746PRO Display Backlight

[Jim Vohland]

Yes, this is a known issue. I would bet that you had the backlight turned down to a low percentage for a dimmer light. When you get it back from Icom, you need to crank that backlight percentage up up up. This helps with heat dissipation and will prevent a recurrence. Of course YMMV............
