The bright screen usually means it's a wrong power supply, do not continue using that powersupply or you might fry you sid chip.

make sure you use the correct power supply and try adjusting the contract of you lcd screen by turning the nob on the back.

I had that once and quickly stopped using this power supply. couldn't find the original psu and ordered another one. no I have a huge sticker on the Sidstation PSU saying "sidstation" .
