Xtrend 8500 lcd not working

[adm]

How to remove front screen which I think will be glued in?

Could it be a backlight failure? Shine a torch close to the front panel LCD. Can you see the expected image?

I shone a torch at screen and I could read screen. I purchased a replacement screen and after fitting the screen was fully on but after a short while the screen went dim. The screen at the moment is dim on right half and black on the left side.

It's a common problem with the ET8500 .Mine has been like that for years,LCD display intermittently coming and going.There is disassembly diagrams online. I think since I have posted, that I will disassemble and check and clean with isopropyl all possible connectors. There is a push fit display cable being first culprit

It's quite straight forward to dissemble,I did it soon after I bought it 10+ years ago to add dvb-T2 tuner to the existing 2 dvb-s2 tuners. Also swapped fan for Noctua but not sure if worth it
