E36 aircon/heater control display

[Palazzo 438]

Parked car, everything worked, got back in, display dead, pushed auto and it came back to life, then flashed and went extremely dim. Parked again, got back in, nothing at all. Fan doesn't work, no buttons work.

Stuffed?

Is this my best bet?

Easy to take out/refit?

Cheers.

Have a read of this link http://www.macadamizer.com/bmwfix.html , if your up to do this , otherwise $100 is a good option if your not into electronics DYI.

Yup common fault easy to repair yourself, Give it a go you have nothing to loose.

Thanks, it does look like an easy repair, but kids and work don't really leave me enough time to buy a soldering iron etc and burn myself.

Driving to Brents sounds easier.

Cheers anyway.
