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
#8: Re: no illumination Author: spud_gti, Location: NottinghamPosted: Mon May 23, 2011 12:18 am ---- 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

The production problems should have been sorted & it will come with a warranty.
#11: Re: no illumination Author: spud_gti, Location: NottinghamPosted: Mon May 23, 2011 4:46 am ---- to be honest i only need the clock so might just get one out of another car and fab a bracket up.
thanks for the input.
#12: Re: no illumination Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Mon May 23, 2011 9:38 am ---- With the PPT_30, is it the liquid crystal in the screens that fail or the circuit board?
#13: Re: no illumination Author: spud_gti, Location: NottinghamPosted: Tue May 24, 2011 12:17 am ---- my screen seems to be working but its not bright at all, there doesnt seem to be a back light so going to try and find where the feed should be coming from and replace the lamps in it.... fingers crossed, i dont know what way these things die....... maybe its just because there french??
