I've been following this thread, as I have a similar problem in my circa 1998 Yamaha stereo receiver.? It has yellow LCD digits and they're now barely visible.

I think you can replace the illuminator in this display. It¡¯s been a while but I recall having done it once.

I have a R8 sitting on my desk I got from a local ham. He went through it and replaced several handfuls of capacitors. The encoder was shot so he machined a new coupling to fit an off the shelf new encoder. Radio works great and looks good.
However!!
The LCD is so dim, it¡¯s hard to see it.
Found the usual Google hits about cleaning contacts and so on. Nothing worked
is there a fix for the dim display? (other than a new LCD)
