Oh does it have it the yellow and black connectors and would it be for sale by any chance ?

Thanks

Mike

NO! That's mine ;-)

If yours has missing lines of pixels, and you aint scared if using a soldering iron, then have a go repairing it. You don't need to be good at soldering either as you only need to de-solder/ re-solder the three mettal button contacts to gain access inside the case.

I found a nice little guide here ; http://[http://www.problemcar.nl/opeltje/mid%20reparatie.htm

It's a different display, but the principle is the same. I did it on mine but was a bit heavy handed while re-assembling it and cracked a corner off of the LCD glass. I reckon it would have worked too because the parts of the screen that still work, work perfectly.

A Dutch site of course

How do you find time for all this stuff J? You amaze me.
 May i tentatively enquire re cid bad pixels? I have two bad ones, depending on the colour displayed, on one line. No biggy, just wondered what you thought, whats involved? Or is it just bad luck with the manufacturing process?

Unusual for that faulty on CID - normally they go corrupted.  New panel is answer, but they ain't cheap.

Opelscanner will do the display tests as well.  

Yes, sorry, I meant using diags tools, ie its not something the car owner can do.


Note, cheapo tech2 and generic obd2 diags tools cannot do this either
