Hello

I am looking for help fixing my display flickering/not working.

I have opel omega B 1997 with MID early type display.

It worked fined but the problem started after disconnecting and reconnecting battery few months ago. Since then it flickers on and off like a disco but most of the time's it is not showing anything. Also I discovered when the sunlight came on from one angles I could see the time so I think it might just be display backlight problem? or do I have to change the display itself?

Don't know if it has anything to do with it but also in last few months there has been like 3 occasions when I turn the car on and I notice head lights small flickering like they go darker for a second and then back, but it usually stops fast after I start driving or engine warms up.

Thanks in advance.

I would start with the battery charging guide... might be early signs of an alternator problem

There are bulbs on the rear of the MID for backlighting. They do blow occasionally.

Could this not be caused by the battery terminal crimp?
