I haven't had a chance to mess with it since last update.@ttmott Tom how did you make out? Were you able to get the display working again?
Ghc 20 brightness not synced to other screens?For some reason (probably me) it was set with the backlight fully dimmed.
That also means you can't see the screen to bring the backlight back up.
My neighbor in the slip behind me also has Garmin and a GHC20 - I looked at his and got the key sequence to bring the backlight up.
So - for future reference and those that may need it, here are the keystrokes that will bring the backlight up -
PWR button - press on and release at "beep" then banner screen appears then message "waiting on autopilot" then dark
Wait a twenty seconds or so for it to boot up.
Right Softkey - press twice (Dimmer menu item)
Middle Softkey - press once (Select)
Left SoftKey - Press and hold until back lighting comes back up.
I tried that and it didn't sync. to the others.Ghc 20 brightness not synced to other screens?
Mine GHC 20 is set to sync the backlighting but it doesn’t not sure why….I tried that and it didn't sync. to the others.
I am pretty sure you just need to press the power button twice on the GHC 20 to force the backlighting to 100%.For some reason (probably me) it was set with the backlight fully dimmed.

I looked at replacing my GHC 20 with the larger unit but I rarely even use that unit since all the data and functionality is on my MFD. I wish Garmin would come up with a larger display on their VHF radio. Impossible for me to see without glasses.@ttmott Tom glad you figured things out and got it working again. Also just an FYI, the GHC20 isn't available any longer and is replaced by the GHC 50, a much larger display, a 5" touch screen.
Agree on that - I hate to use my VHF 315 solely due to the display. I had hoped when it was installed that the VHF data would display on the MFD's but alas, not.I looked at replacing my GHC 20 with the larger unit but I rarely even use that unit since all the data and functionality is on my MFD.
