This happened on two different analog boards to me.  I played around with the
board and convinced myself that both brightness pots were ok. I searched for
flakey solder joints, but found none. Without a circuit diagram, it would have
taken more time to figure out the cause, so I bailed out and spent the $145
for a new board in each case.
