Good news Harvin on receipt of screen. Can I ask where you sourced a Sharp 136 screen from in the end? Was it Germany?

[TheBoy]

Don't bin the old screen....

[Harvin]

Hello all, I have now put the new screen in and rebuilt the unit and works a treat.
All that remains is for me to say thank you to all the members who have help me with this project without which I would not have known were to start.
Thanks again to The Boy for loads of info, and on how to get hold of a screen when most places I tried were out of stock.

I will keep the screen TB do you think we may find a master repairer of these

Regards

Harvin

Hi wingman, the boy gave me a couple of links, both on fleebay one was in Germany and the other was in Canada I went for the later option.
I have just looked now and he’s got loads of these screens up for grabs, link below.

Hi all

A new member here but not an Omega owner, hope its still fine to ask for help.

Thanks to a guy called Nick Argue (Omega owner), I got pointed to this thread and I've exactly similar problem as Harvin, however my car is a 2001 Astra Mk4 DTi LS.

I've a Siemens NCDR 1500 unit with 5 inch sat nav display CID at the top.

The screen is flickering at the moment and I am looking for a new LCD.

I've taken the CID off now and can dismantle it as described by "the Boy".. It looks exactly similar going through his guide but there is no part number sticker at the back of my CID to prove its exactly same as the Omega one.

Would LQ5AW136 LCD fit my CID as well?

I've also found this LCD at:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360153450426&_trksid=p2759.l1259

However, it says the part number as LQ5AW136 T and does not mention Opel/ Vauxhall in its list.
If I go ahead and buy this one, would it work?

Thanks for your help in advance..

[Harvin]

Hi Ksareen, got your PM thanks I am not sure what the T stands for.

The screen I bought was just the LQ5AW136 which is a 5” display.
Below is a link to sharps website showing the specs for this screen?

May be the boy will be able to help you more.

Astra G, Omega and Vectra CID's are the same LCD setup.

The T I suspect is nothing more than a minor production change

[ksareen]

Thanks Harmin, Marks

If you check the link on ebay, it looks like the same 5 inch LCD as the other one. THis one will ship in 3 days, whereas from Canada it may take 10 days as well as the customs and VAT duty on top, so I am inclined to get this one from Portugal as its within the EU.

I will wait till tomorrow for a response from "the boy". At the moment I am happy with what Mark said, its probably a minor production change (but why he did not list Opel/ Vauxhall/ GM in his advert?)..
The seller's response is "not sure, send me your LCD image for confirmation".

[TheBoy]

If you sent me a PM, its lost - my account here got destroyed  

Astra-G takes same panel as Omega, and the 136 is fine

[ksareen]

Thanks TheBoy, I've ordered the screen form portugal fleebay..

Its a used one with 6 months warranty. I priced him down to EURO 115 including delivery.
Hopefully it should arrive by tomorrow and I shall update the forum once I've replaced.

Thanks for your continued support once again..

Hi again

Just to update you all that I managed to get the LCD and replace it on my CID. The CID is back up and running fine on my car. No visible difference apart from 1 dead Pixel (2nd hand LCD)..

The Boy's guide worked really well. Would just like to add that there is an exception to the guide. Near the end of dismantle, when you eject the ribbon cable, my CID does not have any retention clip to hold that ribbon cable. I just gently pulled it out evenly from both sides. Similarly I just had to push it in from both sides when finishing the installation.

Thanks a ton to TheBoy, Marks DTM, Nick Argue and Harmin for their help. Without their help, I am sure I would have got nowhere..
You guys rock!!
