sometimes it doesnt come on at all, sometimes only one of the bulbs lights up, making the one side barely visable, the clock is reset every time i start the car. i noticed last night the brightness can be adjusted by the same control which adjusts the brightness of the dials, this was ok until i took it quite dim and the lights started flashing??

i think i must of have bent one of the connecting bins or something like that to make it go so buggad up, what u lot think??

cheers

i had the same problem and it turned out to be the receptical that the plug tat plugs into the MFD sits in. The soldering had come away from the board cause loose conections and intermittent working etc just as u've described i just resoldered the pins back to the board and everything was fine! Just be careful its in close proximity to the ribbon that connects the display to the board if u melt the glue that holds the contacts in place u'll have major problems getting it working again!
