Hi Jeff, thanks for the reply.

Yes, sure did it, but even turned off the display is very dark. The contrast adjustment helps a bit, but still the whole display is dark.

Is there something wrong with the polarizer on the LCD? If it was not right, it would make the whole display ( segments and non segments) appear darker than expected.
YMMV.
