Oh and if things don't improve with the ribbons then there s the option to replace JUST the LCD part of the unit (as mentioned by X5Sport earlier in the thread):

Hi

Sorry for the delay I dropped my iPhone and smashed the screen so it's at the iPhone hospital in intensive care :-)

Anyways mines fine ever since I did those pesky ribbon cables :-)

[quote=""kena""]Mines still on the blink. One day it's perfect the next it's all washed out.
Anything that is normally yellow is white and other colours looked washed out.
I have cleaned the connections on the TV module but haven't had the time yet to try the ribbon cables behind the screen.
It always seems to be OK on wet/damp days and washed out when it's dry and sunny. :?[/quote]

That's what mine was like mate on and off but now it's totally gone so i'll have to get to work on it.

UPDATE.... Mine is now fixed after a fiddle with the ribbon cables (nice one Sanj :thumbsup: ) :D i can't believe now it's fixed how washed out and faded it had become :o I had gotten used to seeing it that way i suppose :roll:
A really easy fix that took about 10 mins to do and what a result......... at least for now anyway i will keep an eye on it and report back if it fades again.
I have done a how to in a seperate thread for the benefit of others :driving:
