Scoreboard brightness low, Dimming setting on All Sport console

Potential Symptoms

Scoreboard is showing normal information but the digits are dim.
When scoreboard goes through POST it is also dim.
Entire LED scoreboard is flickering, flashing on and off, but everything shows up correctly.
Incoming power and output of power supplies is steady.
Scoreboard appears very dim.
Digits are hard to see during the day.

Environment

Product: Indoor Scoreboard, Outdoor Scoreboard.
Component:
Control System: All Sport 5000, All Sport 1600, All Sport 3000, RC-100, RC-200

Cause

Dimming setting in the All Sport console is set to something other than 0 (Zero/None).
- Having a value in the dimming setting means it is dimming the board down by that value amount (i.e if level is 90 then the scoreboard will be 90% dim thus only 10% bright).
