First, make sure that your brightness is turned up. You can access this from the menu by selecting "Display" then adjusting the display between 50% & 100%.

If the brightness is at 100% and the display is still dim, this is an indication that there is a problem with the backlight that lights up the LCD display from behind.

The backlight is integrated into the LCD display, so the entire display needs to be replaced. Was the unit dropped? If so, perhaps the LCD flex cable pulled out of the connector, slightly from one side, disconnecting the backlight. We strongly suggest that you don't try to repair the unit yourself. Additional damage can occur.

Advance alarm clock manual
Yes, you can adjust the LED display brightness on the Advance Model 3138 alarm clock. To adjust the brightness, follow these steps:
  1. Press and hold the "SNOOZE/DIM" button for 2 seconds. The current brightness level will appear on the display.
  2. Press the "SNOOZE/DIM" button repeatedly to cycle through the available brightness levels.
  3. Once you have selected the desired brightness level, wait for a few seconds for the clock to automatically save your selection.

How to keep the radio light on?
The sensor behind the plastic readout window needs to be exposed to a sufficient amount of light to alter the display brightness from dark room mode to bright room mode (dimmed display, bright display). Be sure sufficient light falls on the digital readout display when desiring the display to be at its bright mode setting.

Hello Jinx55,
the problem is the display unit itself or the cable that goes from the display to the electronic (Most likely the dispaly itself).

Display Hard to See
No - it's bright out there. Bright light, like a full sun on the beach, dims your perception of the screen. You can check the back light settings, but bright light is going to mess with this kind of lcd screen.
