viper 5902 2 way remote display very dim

Hello, Was wondering if anyone had any issues with progressive degradation or dimming of the 5902's 2-way remote control? Over the course of several months, I noticed the backlight was no longer as bright as it once was. In order to very my suspicions, I compared it to my buddy's remote (same 5902) and it was confirmed. I literally have to be in a very dark area just to see the display. The alarm is only 2 years old and I would hate to have to dish out $150 on a new remote. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You can contact DEI to verify the warranty on the remote. The system has a lifetime warranty but not sure about the HD remotes. But if its not covered just an FYI the retail price on those remotes is $399.
