Has anyone ever had an issue with the Legacy Handset where the icons go all dark.  When I initially startup the icons are present, but after a few minutes they go dark as if the contrast was turned up.  The display is fine but all the icons buttons become black squares.  They still function as I press them from memory.  This has happened and when I turned off the system and came back the next day it was functioning normally for a little while then it starts up again.  The contrast settings are all set to 50%.

 

Anyone ever have this happen and if so is there a fix?

Thanks for the information everyone! I tried resetting the handset via the small button on the back, reloaded Ver. 1.52 on the handset and the base, switched out the chargeable batteries with regular AA's and turned off the charger on the base.  None of this fixed the issue.  While running some trains I noticed that if I press any of the bottom icon squares while they are blacked out the icons come back and are normally visible for a few minutes before they black out again.  This was repeatable each time it happened.  I will give Lionel a call tomorrow.  I purchased this a few years ago but didn't actually use it until last week because I didn't have anything set up.
