I know this is simplistic and certainly not Wayne's problem, but the
brightness of the LCD is provided by ambient light coming through the
little white piece of plastic on the front of the prism housing (except
for those oh so few seconds after the illumination button is pressed).
Just a few days ago, outdoors in bright light, I pressed lightly on the
shutter release to check an exposure and thought for a moment that the
camera wasn't working. Then the light in my head went on, I pushed up
the brim of my hat, and there was the display! Same thing can happen
with dim overhead lighting behind you so the camera is in your shadow,
esp. with a T32 in the shoe.
I hope it's something simple like that.

I have a camera like that as well. I thought it was some contacts

Hi,
The brightness of the lcd meter on my OM4 changes intermittently.
Meter info is invisible indoor when it is off. Sometimes it goes
on(bright enough to see)after shutter is released few times. The
battery is new. Battery check is alright. Back light is working. So
is there a check point on this?
