jochen 4 Report post Posted September 2, 2010 I've got a 1998 BMW 735i and the 4:3 Monitor is not working any more. I've looked at the fuses and can not see any burn fuses. How can get it going again? 95% of the cases the LCD display has failled (well, the high-voltage backlight generator fails) A new LCD display fixes it. You can replace just the LCD part, you don't have to replace the entire on-board monitor with tape deck etc. You could also consider upgrading to a 16:9 widescreen display if you want. Tip: troll ebay for cheap replacements, tends to be much cheaper than NZ wreckers And it doesn't matter whether LHD or RHD, for my car I got a cheap LHD board monitor from the USA, where the tape deck was faulty but the screen was OK. Then I unscrewed the LCD section (4 screws) and swapped it into mine. Plugged in and it worked. Easy peasy. And a wise man would get one from a 2000 car - as new as possible with as few hours on the clock as possible, then you get more life out of it....
