Heater Lcd Display Died

[Owen LS400]

Hi guys,

Did anyone see wheeler dealers the other day? It featured a LS and they addressed one item inparticular that i am interested in:

My Lex has suffered the classic bleeding in the LCD heater/clock display. Its now just constantly black. On the programme it said that Mike Brewer got a replacement screen for £150 i believe, plus the company would fit it for another £60-80? Does anyone know of this company and if so, their contact details.

It is so unbelievably annoying not to be able to see the temperature of the heaters and to have to listen for the 'beep' to stop when altering the temperature to know when you are on max hot or max cold!!

Many thanks chaps.

Found this...

dash link

that is a good link, you need to be very confident with a soldering iron if you fit a new screen yourself

I notice that on page one they sell the complete unit on a return the old unit basis £179, surely this has to be easier to fit?

So, where's the latest place to get a new LCD panel - I'm up for soldering myself - I've fixed many a Saab SID unit?

Cost today?

I did this job on mine and it is really fiddly ,

unless you are a dab hand with a small soldering iron, Chris Vince is your man..

Here is Chris's site LCD Repairs but Chris can supply it already soldered for a small extra fee
