LED on my Sony ICFC218 is dim

How do I brighten the LED display

    1. Unplug. Take out battery (round). Replug. It shall glow again. 2. Reinsert same battery for the time being. 3. But your battery requires replacement now.

I found that if I repeatedly press snooze/date/sleep off (big button) it will change the dim setting 3 levels... dunno how many times but I press it like 20-30 times and it works

    Correct.....kept pressing maybe 20-25 times.....went from low before I started, then to medium with continued pressing, eventually to high....NO taking battery out necessary. BAM....FIXED

There is no brightness adjustment for this model, but you can remove the front lens by removing 2 screws holding it and the display will look brighter.

My echo dot LED display does not automatically dim or brighten. How can I fix it?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to adjust the brightness of the LED display on an Echo Dot. To increase visibility, you can place it in an area with more ambient light, or you can use a lamp or other light source to illuminate the LED display.

How to make the led brighter

To fix the dim brightness level, remove the battery and pull the plug out of the mains power. Leave it disconnected for at least 5 minutes then plug it back into mains power. You should find the brightness has retuned to normal. I have 3 of these Clock Radios and the picture attached shows the comparison between dim and normal. For some unknown reason they intermittently decide to dim themselves. This may be why Sony included a dimmer in the next model up ICF-C318. Anyway I hope this helps

The lcd display has become very dim on my sony dreammachine icf-c218 how do i brighten it up?

There is no adjustment on this model. Mine was too dim and the only way I was able to make the display brighter was by removing the front lens. I then used a nail and a knife to scratch and cut (from inside) the rectangular area of the lens in front of the display. It looked nice afterwards. If you need it dimmer, I would recommend putting a small shaded sheet behind the lens like the ones used for tinting car windows instead.

I can't get the led read out to brighten?

Does the dimmer switch in your truck make nthe light in the radio go up and down? if not the instalation was not done properly and someone left off the dimmer wire. If that does work and the brightness does go up and down, you may have an LED or Two out on the radio. Good Luck
