Hi, i have opel omega 2003 2.5td caravan. I have just bought the car and this display for navigation and all that stuf. Lites behind the screen are workin and screen is white. Do i need to replace the display or is it some other problem?

How many plugs are plugged into the screen?
-

I misread your post. Pop the cluster out and check that the smaller plug is securely fitted :y

As far as I know the smaller plug (RGB) only feeds the Map Data, the Screen should still work if its disconnected just no Maps.
But still worth checking both Plugs. :y
-
If its not working only when viewing map, then it could be RGB plug.
But, in this case, I suspect its always white, no matter what mode. In which case replace the LCD panel.

I checked the plugs and i think all is connected and no changes. If i change dysplay i need to pair somehow? Or its yust plug and play?

No its not plug n play, far from it, you need to de pair first, find a replacement Screen that has been de paired or a new one that has not been paired yet, marry the screen with HU then pair together again.
'If' you think its a faulty screen panel (the LCD Panel itself) and your up for the job, these can be replaced without any depairing or messing around etc.

i found used cluster with display, i think its the same cid display but i dont know if its working or not. So i can switch yust lcd screens from other and try without paring? Is this difficult job? I dont know how to be sure that display is faulty..

There's a guide for it :y

Yes, you can change just LCD panel. You need to retain your 2 PCBs for coding and config
Minor soldering skills needed
-
where can i buy new lcd panel? i cant find it anyware. i can solder so that isnt be a problem :D but i need lcd panel :)
-
They are hard to source individually, and are expensive if you have to by a lot of 20 or more.
If you can find a (working) replacement CID, that may be easier option, and just swap the LCD panels over
-
How can i test the replacement cid? can i conect it to 12v batery and somehow test it? or i need to conect it to my car and see if it works and then replace cid lcd screens?
Thanks for answers :)

As I dont have access to the Tech tools, if was me, I would probably just plug it in, it should power up and give a good idea if workable or not, it will probably bleep at you, flash up Code and revert back to the Mian Menu every few seconds but your get an idea. ;) just dont blame me if it goes bang though. ;D ;D
-
Plug it in, as you say, is a valid way to test if the LCD is OK. Granted, it might not show dead pixels etc, but they are rare on these.
You should get a myriad of messages etc, all in full colour. An all white, all black, all grey or vertical lines, along with obvious screen corruption, will highlight a duff screen.
If you can, give it a gentle tap to see if that provokes a response from it, signifying a poor connection between the ribbon and the panel (this is the fault that causes them to fail)
-
thanks , im gona try to do that and test the new one. u have all the answers :D

hi, guy who can replace lcd said that software witch runs these lcd crashed. So he didn't replaced the screen. I have had these white screen for a while but today when i started my car the screen worked for 5 minutes like it was totally fine :) could it be some unsoldered connection? some kind of cabe short? It was like miracle :) It worked for the first time that i own this car :)
