haha cheers for the replys guys.... and gals
will flick it out and strip it down to see if there is a loose solder connection other than that ill have to do somthing with the spaceits going to leave lol
ive adjusted the dimmer switch both ways and the brightness only seems to get worse so assume some lamps may be out.... will have a look when ive done the mechanical stuff.
thanks again

right then.....
took it to bits over the weekend as i also changed my dials (see other problem topic)
no loose connections at all, put back in and the display is working but there doesnt seem to be any back light to the display, the lamps dont illuminte evn when the side lights are on....
is this the normal way for these to die or is there anything else i can do??
thanks in advance

If I needed one of these for a car i was keeping I would get a new one:
The production problems should have been sorted & it will come with a warranty.

With the PPT_30, is it the liquid crystal in the screens that fail or the circuit board?
