I got a second-hand-new Baofeng UV-3R Plus and it shows a problem that has not been documented (or I use the wrong search keywords): the LCD display fades out. The longer it stays still, the more it fades out.
See this example about 10 seconds "in":

| Fading display on Baofeng UV-3R Plus |
Top line displays "RADIO" and bottom line is "108.000". Also the display is reacting slowly to any change at 25°C room temperature.
I am not an expert in LCDs and their hardware drivers so I ask if there could be a fix? Or what is the cause of this effect. Given the planned application of this radio and the long queue of projects I will not try a fix myself, unless I am directed to the right spot.
