Today I received my Peterson Strobostomp2 electronic tuner, however it seems to be defective. The tuner works fine for the first 5-10 minutes but you quickly begin to notice the screen starting to fade after having it on for 10 minutes or so. It will fade to such an extent after about 10 minutes that the things on the screen are not visible at all. I first used the battery that came with the tuner, and I also tried a brand new battery and got the same result. Anyone have experience with these tuners that can tell me if this is a definite defect and not just some sort of power saving feature. If I turn it off for a minute and then back on it comes on at full brightness.

Thanks
