Fading Display on NAD M3

OK thanks for that info.

Nice, so it turns out that you won't have to drop $$$ on a repair.

Hello Everyone,

I just found this thread. I am actually having the same problem. My M3 display is not as bright and hard to read. I noticed that someone mentioned that it was a software fix. Can this be done buy the consumer or do you have to take it in to NAD? If it can be done at home where would the software be and how do I go about fixing it?

Any help regarding this issue would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same fading display problem on my M3. Has anyone resolved the software issue mentioned by Kiza above?

Thanks

Firmware update installation will solve this issue by allowing you to push the tone and balance button on the facia at the same time for about 5 seconds and the entire vacuum display will light up and you let it burn in for 48 hours like that. The fading is simply unused areas that don't glow as brightly as the commonly used areas. I had the same problem and this took care of it completely. Contact NAD support and they can email you the firmware to install using a RS232 cable from a PC to the M3.
