The first thing is that with the ancient discharged battery connected the display was quite a lot dimmer. That should not affect the display when it is running from the adaptor but it does. I was surprised that later the battery held some charge. The second thing is that I detached the ribbon cable and examined the components which may have nudged something back in place. BTW the ribbon cable can be a cow to replace, I would not detach it again in haste. Anyway at that point I got the display as bright as new.
