John,

I just double checked, the problem is probably the photocell. The only thing on the circuit board, they are a pain on the KX155 because you have to solder the photocell to the bottom of the board, but thats about it to fix it.

You can shine a light at night at the diode and if the screen is readable again it is usually just the dimming circuit. The dimming can be adjusted brighter by and avionics tech, and if you are at the point that no longer helps the tech should be able to in most cases repair it for little expense. The real problem is with the KT155A's because they are potted and have to be sent in to Bendix/King but the KX155's can be repaired without sending them in.
