The LCD screen is half dark grey and the other half has the outline of the icons.When I press the screen, it acts like it would work properly, but I can't read anything on it. I've tried unplugging it and taking the card out, etc.. What do you think?
I am writing in the belief this is an old ESi or ESE machine. Chrysler K cars have disappeared. My old Compaq died. Your machine LCD is on its last legs. The old machine displays had 3 layers: the touch screen; the LCD and the backlight. Most are unavailable as replacements, and if they are, prohibitively expensive. Time to find another machine.
On page 81 of your manual it says to adjust your LCD screen brightness.

It sounds like you may have two problems - one is easy, but without the other, its hard !!! If the touchscreen isn't working, it may simply be mis-calibrated and cant be accessed. To recalibrate the touchscreen from scratch, switch the machine on whilst, at the same time, pressing both of the two needle position buttons - the calibration screen should then come up and you should touch the screen where the dots are shown to recalibrate it. If, pressing the dots does not do anything, the probability is that your touch overlay or main control board is faulty, in which case you will need to take it to your Bernina agent. If you manage to re-calibrate the touchscreen OK, switch the machine off and back on again and if the display is still very grey but readable, you can adjust the contrast of the display by pressing the button with an arrow facing right, inside a box - this will take you to the user adjustment menu. Touch the display button that has a symbol with three vertical bars of different shades of grey and this will take you to a display that allows the brightness and contrast to be adjusted - touch the up or down buttons to get the best display contrast and once this is done, you should be all working again. Good Luck
Either the bulb has burned out or you have accidentally turned the control to darken the screen. Look in the top where the feet are stored. You should see a half moon shaped valve on the inside edge of the top front - that is the control for the brightness/darkness control of the screen.
In my case the problem was an error in the User Guide.
Press SET four times so that it displays SET 4. At the bottom right of the screen, where the User Guide shows a blank area, there is a setting for the maximum stitch width. If this is set to 0.0 you can only stitch straight. Change it to the other setting, typically 6.0.
Now go to ADJUST. At the bottom of the screen, the middle control is the actual stitch width, which you can set anywhere from 0.0 to the maximum. Set it to whatever width you want for the zigzag.
When your Brother PC 7500 is otherwise working fine but the LCD display screen begins to grow darker and you find you just can't read it, the only thing you can do is replace the Brother PC 7500 LCD screen, or buy a new machine.Brother no longer stock this item direct, but there is an affordable replacement available.

I have been dealing with machines of various types all my working life. I have learned coincidences do happen - but not very often.
My instinct, in your case, strongly suggests the problems are connected. My instinct is to suggest you take your machine elsewhere for maintenance - somewhere that employs experienced and qualified engineers and has a boss that allows them adequate time to do their work properly.
I am completely guessing but if the replaced bushing was broached or line-reamed or the correct service tool was used for fitting, the dc motor might have survived (these are usually almost bullet-proof). I guess if the dismantling and reassembly was suitably careful, the lcd screen would probably have been in the same condition when it arrive back from repair as when it was sent.
Dark grey, actually, but you don't need the upgrade. Set the hoop size at the machine for the 150 x 240 hoop and the 150 x 150 hoop will work. Just be sure that the design starts in the centre i.e. don't move it up or down at the machine Embroidery screen. Before you begin sewing, check that the design will fit in the hoop without bumping the sides of the hoop. Use the Check Size button which is on the second screen of the Embroidery Screen (touch More on bottom right of first screen). The Check Size button is the one on the bottom right - the first button to the left of "More". Touch it once, hoop moves to top left of design; touch again hoop moves to bottom left of design; again hoop moves to bottom right; again hoop moves to top right.
Make yourself a note so that when you next take your D1 in for its regular service, get the hoop upgrade done at the same time. You need to have at least version 2.1 of the machine software installed - your tech. can do this for you too. It is a really minor adjustment so should not add much to the service cost. Be sure to take the embroidery unit in too when you go for the service.
You need to adjust the screen. Turn the machine off. Press simultaneously the three buttons on the front (Start, reverse and stop) at the same time turn the machine on.
Press the crosses that appear on the screen and it should all be fine.
