It sounds like there's a short circuit around the MOSFET switch and when the switch turns on the the short is pulling the power supply voltage down. Monitor the power supply voltage to the RAMPS board and see what it does when the switch turns on and off.

Look for solder blobs on the RAMPS board, check the wires to make sure they aren't frayed and shorting or touching anything they shouldn't.

When you ay the display dims do you mean the backlight dims or does the display contrast wash out or both? Does it do this with and without a USB port connection to your computer?

I had a problem where the 5V regulator on the Arduino board was bad and the display looked fine while I was plugged into the USB port on a computer (because the USB port supplied the 5V to the display), but when I disconnected from the computer I couldn't read the display.
