I bought a mirage 2950 fromm Copper last month. The LCD display is now fading out making it unreadable. Any ideas on what is causing this?

When you say "fading out" do you mean that the digits get washed out, if not completely missing when you key up? I had a 2950 a while back, and the problem there was that I had both my 2 pill amp and my 2950 running off the same main power feed, which was only a 16 gauge set of wires coming from the battery.. Basically, it was starving for power, hence the dimming of the display characters.

Thanks for the reply, I'll hook some 10 gauge wire up. Hopefully that will fix the problem.
The digits are only partially displaying whether I key up or not.
