LCD Tacho Problem

hello, think your problem is that a electrical part behind the lcd numbers is getting to hot. i think you should open the lcd and check out which part that is an localize and replace it. i have a lcd that i can use for spare parts but i think it is to expensive to ship it to serbia. if i can help you just tell me.

no not the engine . hm. the back of the lcd is mounted wie little screws. they just can be opened with a special tool. but if you use a "dremel" or a similar sort of tool you can cut a slot in the screw so that it can be opened with a usual screwdriver. replace those special screws with usual screws afterwards. once opened the lcd it is easy to remove the two clusters just unscrew and put out. but there is a connector you have to prise out carefully.

well i do not know which part exactly makes the problem. if i would be you i would buy another lcd. the lcd is built up very simple. when you put out the screws on the back cover you can remove it. then you will find the first electronic panel. another screws to lose you can lift it and unplug the connector carefully. then you will see the second electronic panel which does obviously the problem. this one can removed easily too and be replaced. i would not start to try to repair one of those panels. i would just replace it completely. if you are carefull you barely can damage anything. so order another lcd, open it and check it. you will see how easy it is built up. once you found out how to disassemble and assemble it you can decide whether you dare to repair the lcd built in your car.

you surely can buy a good one and replace the whole lcd completely but in that case the amount of shown kilometres is different. (even that could be changed).

a very serious point is when you remove the second panel. after that comes the plastic frames with the lcds they are connected to the second panel by little rubber-like connectorstrips. they are not mounted, just laid in. make sure not to lose them and to have them perfectly in place before reassembling the panel.

oh you obviously never removed the lcd of your car before. so the lcd is connected with your kadett with two plugs. a black big one which is easily to plug out. just press together its ends. the other plug is different its white and it has a black small plastic part on its back. you have too pull out this little plastic part. so that the plug is unblocked.

good so take the sparepart-lcd to open and check. you will see it is much easier than you would think. if you need any information (and even if its to change the shown mileage *whisper*) tell me.
