The OBC splash screen, TV, sat nav, has turned a light greenish colour
does this mean it's on it's way out ?

It's worth checking the connections in the boot well also :thumbsup:

Hi Cognac

Mine went orange'ish. I took out the head unit and took the back off the box and literally just pushed in the ribbon cables to make sure they were connecting properly. Worked a treat but did go orange again about 10 months later but a quick poke around again sorted. 10 min job max.

There is a how to on the friendly helpful USA xourpost that you can look up if your scared to poke about :-)

For the last couple of days all seems back to normal fingers crossed that's how it will stay!

Should the screen have a relapse I now know what to do and where to poke about... :)

Thanks one and all for your help :thumbsup:

Mines been like this for about 18 months now, fine most days but then a washed out colour other days. Just never had the chance to sort it.
