I found that the later radar capable Garmin MX20's have better cooling than their Apollo predecessors. So the screens don't overheat and go bad like the older & non-radar ones. Garmin had changed a few other components in the dimming circuit when they went to a rocker style switch, replacing the rotary dimmer knob.

If anyone is having a problem with their older MX20, and doesn't want to break the bank replacing it, there is one on ebay.

I had done this swap about a year ago and it cost me a lot more than this one is going for so far.
