Things have gotten even worse...
I've now had my CFAH1602B-YYH-JPV for just under 5 months and I'm down to one of the 5 or 6 lights that power my backlight. One of the other light sources flickers occasionally, and the rest just don't come on at all. I'm really quite disappointed seeing as the documentation on the LCD says I should get 100,000 hours out of it. I've checked all the voltages and its not being hit with anything out of the recommended ranges. The temperature stays within 60 to 100 degrees fahrenheit so that's not it.
I talked to an electronics technician who said that after reading over the documentation, I must have gotten a faulty LCD seeing as it was impossible to turn off the backlight and that it should not be anywhere near failing at its current rate of use of 5 hours a day.
The LCD is used in a dim environment and seeing as the LCD is not reflective, its getting near impossible to read.
Any suggestions or comments on return policies?
Thank you
