    Hi,
    I followed the steps in the video to change the LCD screen, I didn’t have any issues at all but when I plugged it back in the LCD and the instrument lights do not come on. Any thoughts?

      @MIKEYZVLOGZ  2 роки тому

      u must have not plugged it in properly or did u bend the plug too much ?? they are very sensitive
      apart from that it was pretty straight forward
      do u have your old one still plug that back int and see if u get a signal
      possible the new one is defective?

    I just did this upgrade, PROBLEM, plugged the harness in and all is GREAT, until I pushed the cluster back in and the LCD went blank. Swapped the old one back in, nothing. Mechanic swapped another cluster in and it worked. Sent my cluster out to the supplier of the LCD and they said that LCD and my original both worked in there test so it is my Dash Cluster that has the problem. All lights and Dails work.
    Any thoughts?

    lm getting ready to do this .I have heard that some are not as good as others .Most are Chinese for about $75 online .Do you recommend a certain brand or anything?They all look the same bit I have read where some people have said the cheap Chinese ones are not very bright. l see you got a blue one ,l have seen that one on Amazon. The VDO brand is the oem one that the factory uses

    • @MIKEYZVLOGZ
      @MIKEYZVLOGZ  Рік тому +1

      yes cheap Chinese isn't always as good as vdo oem.. but the choice is yours.. if u can afford vdo or can get a really good used ..then maybe do so.. but must be very fair price..or else no point .. I settled for Chinese to fix the issue asap and get it going again ..also Chinese can fade and not be same brightness throughout .. it all depends on your circumstance... are u on a budget? can u afford oem.. can u find used at a good price ... as stated I went with cheaper Chinese to test it and show how its fixed... personal preference ... good luck with your fix mate ..not too hard

    what would happen if i carelessly left the gauges (Speedo, temp, fuel) turned up and already fixed everything back? Would it show an inaccurate reading? or would it zero-rise itself when i start the car?

      If it's any consolation they will try to rip men off too if they can.I would say at least 8 times out of 10.If you ever find a shop you think you can trust ,keep them because it's just very rare ,they will all try to take advantage of you ,some a little and some alot if they think you won't call them on anything.lts just the way it is.If you can do it yourself that's the best way .although I have made some costly mistakes doing things .That's why these videos are so helpful
