Title: Faded Dash?
Post by: Gnomad42 on February 18, 2023, 02:43:34 PM

Hello STriders,
I have a strange situation with my 1300, where the LCD screen is fading, or maybe the back ground is coming off?
Does anyone know of a fix, or will I have to replace the unit?

Pretty sure the display is stuffed and will need replacing...  :fp

'Fraid so.  CallmeSteve and I replaced the LEDs behind the display which changed the colour from yellow to white and made it easier to see in sunlight, but you still need the magic numbers on the screen in front of the LEDs to be intact to be legible.   I suppose the display from a wrecked bike could be better, and the ODO should still be driven by your own chip, and hence unchanged.  What do you think, Steve?- you're the techie.
