Taz 4/5 lcd display unreadable

Has anyone had their lcd display fade to the point of being unreadable?
Over time the display has been getting very light to where you had to look at it at an extreme angle to see it. It almost looked like the image was inverted. Is this a temp problem? Does it need replacing? Can I just replace the screen?

I know the pic looks a little fuzzy but it wouldn’t make a difference. That is how it looks.

That’s most likely a screen that needs replacing. THe good news is you can just swap it out for a new one and fix the issue, no firmware tweaks required as long as it’s the same unit. Do a search for the Fullgraphics LCD. itworks3d.com or Lulzbot themselves probably both have them in the US. cheaper alternatives will be non continentally located.
