dcm17 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2008 Hey team! Ive got an e36 323i and my computer display is failing at life. When you want to check something only some of the LCD display works, if you run your finger along the LCD display you can see the information but its all faint. Also last week the back lighting on my clock failed but it came back to life. Any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a DIY to fix the dead pixels which I have tried and it kind of worked but not totally.... Ray @ HELLBM sells OBC's with working pixels for $50. I'm just gonna buy a new one from him.
