Wisdom I Dive computer Backlight brightness or contrast control?

I am having a tough time reading my Wisdom 1. Seems I have to hold it just right to see it. The backlight is almost not noticeable that it is on (as in hand over display to see if its active). I have changed the battery with a new cell and see the same issue. I inherited this so am not sur if this is expected? I read how good the display is but I struggle. DOnt have the best vision to begin with so jst not sure what to make of it. Will ask at my LDS but wanted to check here to see if there was more info.

1- Is there any way to increase the back light brightness?
2- Is there contrast or display brightness control to help enhance the display?
3- Any other options that I should be looking at to make the experience better?

Id attach a pic if it woud help but not sure it can convey what I am really seeing, but can if requested.

You will need to send it in for service.

Is this a know issue? Just curious why you just say needs to go to service as in if its a known problem. Any idea what this serivce will cost as its an older unit.

No service codes to make these changes? Did find one to do a rest.

Thanks again,

Update: Stopped at my LDS and they thought it wasw ok although they had to go into a dark room to see the back light. They thought it was dim but functional. Stil love to find a way to get it brighter as my eyes have issues with dim.

The Wisdoms don't have a great backlight to begin with.

I have a Wisdom 2 that Sherwood said could not be serviced, so I seriously doubt a Wisdom 1 will get repaired. Likely you'll get an offer to purchase a new W3 at a discount.

Sherwood just being lazy they can service that computer if they want to since it not flooded.
