I was driving to work today in my 2010 corolla Ce and then when I went to change the radio station the radio turned off, and cd ejected. After i turned the radio back on everything seemed to work properly but the screen is super dim... anyone know what's going on?
Radio turned off, cd ejected, now screen is dim

only time my CD ejected without my input
was when I disconnected the battery once.
So I might assume the radio would do that
if for some reason it lost full power (12v) supplied by the battery.
Not sure why it's gone dim tho'
Maybe that's a default setting after a power loss ?
Maybe you are having an intermittent connectivity issue
and only partial power (voltage) is being supplied ?
How old is the car's battery ?
Possibly that is going south ?
Check the battery's voltage static = 12.5v plus
Check that the alternator is charging = 13.8v - 14v
