Dashboard instrument cluster OBC pixel failure repairs / repair tools / spare parts

Several car models have the common dead, fading, or completely disappearing pixel problem on the instrument cluster and on the on board computer (OBC) LCD display that shows valuable data such as the mileage, temperature, time and the OBC messages. The LCD pixel problem lies with the ribbon cable (also called flexible cable) that connects the LCD display to the circuit board of the instrument cluster or the MID unit. The replacement of the ribbon cable fixes the problem permanently.

Common symptoms of pixels error are:

- Single pixels or complete lines of pixels have disappeared.
- LCD displays are difficult or impossible to read.
- Some cases the display returns to complete working order once cluster hits high or low temperatures.

The missing pixel problem is quite common at the following models:

BMW 3 series (E36), 5 series (E34, E39), 7 series (E38), 8 series (E31), & X5
Mercedes E Class and C class
Land Rover / Range Rover
Audi A3 A4 A6 and A8
Volkswagen & Seat Several models
Opel Omega / Vauxhall B models
SAAB 9-3 and 9-5 models

The dead pixels are most common on the instrument cluster, the MID and radio unit, on the on board computer or OBC, and on the SID unit.

The pixel failure can be fixed simply replaceing the ribbon cable between the LCD and the panel. The pictures below show a good example how the instrument cluster LCD display looks before and after the ribbon cable replacement (just an example of several board computer / dashboard instrument cluster types):
