NGPC Slim with Q5 IPS mod display suddenly dim yet backlight appears to work just fine?
Hello! In 2021 I went ahead and purchased a NGPC Slim with the Q5 IPS (Hispeedido) mod that was available at the time and so far it has been working fantastically, even up to yesterday evening. However, today for some reason the display no longer properly illuminates with the backlight causing it to be dimly lit in appearance, regardless of the brightness setting I use with the touch sensitive control on the top left. The backlight appears to function normally, as you can see it peaking out of the top and sides of the NGPC shell, yet the screen itself remains very dim in comparison. I did have batteries in my NGPC that appeared to have slightly less than half life left in them, but after having changed them out with a fresh pair of Duracell Powerboost batteries (Not the coppertop ones I believe) but the brightness issue remained. I've so far experienced no other issues with functionality other than this display issue.
The previous batteries that I was using were just called "Alkaline Batteries" featuring the 1.5v spec, but that's it. All pictures taken at the highest backlight setting of 11. I'm not sure if it's a sudden power delivery issue or perhaps a soldering connection issue. Has anyone else experience these issues with the Q5 IPS (Hispeedido) mod? Any suggestions?
