Just had the cluster pixels repaired on both cars. I removed the instrument packs and took them to a guy in Southampton who advertises on ebay. He repaired both while I waited (3 hours!) and charged a £100 each. Very good service I thought and a good job, I can now read all the message centre again. His number is 07934 280510 no connection or relative to me.

Instructions for removing the instrument pack below.

You need to remove the fascia top rail, which necessitates removal of the A post trim and driver and passenger side upper closing panels, vents and finishers.

Do you know if the chap repairs the MID unit ( the base stereo which has an LCD display which loses pixels too )

 

[SGW]

Yes he does about £120.00 I think.

Anyone have a good lead for someone stateside that fixes Pixels? Mine is not too bad, so debating whether it would be worth the hastle of removing it?

Wonder exactly what is done to repair the pixels and if it is something that I could do - ie is it something simple like a quick spray of electronics contact cleaner?

Here is a video of how to fix the LCD pixel repair on a L322 speedo.

I've used VDOrepair.com to fix the pixels in a cluster in a 1998 BMW 7. They offer a lifetime guarantee. They also service RRs. IIRC, it was five or six years ago and all's still well with the pixel. The MID now needs it though, and I may send that in. No connection to VDO, except as a customer.

I forgot to address the question about cleaners, etc. I and others have tried a variety of fixes, but only having VDOrepair.com or others do the fix has permanently fixed the issues. The original design was flawed.

Is this only a issue on the early models?
Pre what year?

I believe RRs had pixel issues during the BMW-ownership days. I think the clusters were made by the same manufacturer. BMWs had the pixel issues in the 5s and 7s (which had commonality of clusters) from 1995 through 01 on the 7s, and I think through 02 at least on the 5s.
