From what I've played with recently (a mates MFD), if your screen has red halo, patches etc then the LCD itself is burned/stuffed.

I did the usual polarised film replacement and new backlight and the red defects wacky colour are still there. Even turning the film around because I thought it was backwards didn't improve it.

I f I have my way then the screens for these will be universal shortly. I am modding one for another application and using an ENTIRELY different screen to do so.

just wondering mate, is that exactly the same as yours looked before you replaced the film? or was worst, like as bad as mine? (photos on the previous page) my film has arrived, was going to attempt it this weekend.

thought id update. finally got around to giving this ago. with all the advice on here. only took 1.5 hours, start to finish. unfortunately the film does nothing for the red/orange patch halo. was worth a try though.

Other than jdm auto link, is there anywhere else the screen can be bought?

Screen is available here:

http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale/wholesale-sharp-lq6bw506.html

That's if you have the sharp unit.

Bear in mind that is JUST the screen. No input circuits.

Thanks! alot cheaper than the $480 from autolink. yeh, mine car is an early 99 model, so im lead to believe that is the sharp? (correct me if im wrong?)

2 questions, whats involved with putting it in? im not to good with electrics, but if its just unplug, and replug, screw and unscrew i should be right hahah

And wich one do i need, they all have the same model number, but different description on the link.

cheers in advance

UPDATE. got the screen off alibaba.com for $95 posted. (thats including an extra $6 for express postage). there where some sellers selling even cheaper lol. but didn't wanna push my luck with the tight assness. was peice of cake to put in, plug and play as i expected. works perfect.

Either way, i still have the lcd film if anybody in PERTH wants it they can have it for free. ive only cut out one attemp (didn't work for the orange patch). so theres atleast another 5 attemps left as i bought the big one. (seems a waste to throw it out)

So who did you use?

I need a screen as well. Last time I tried to buy one for a customer I got screwed over.

Link would be handy.

cheers for the link btw, would have never thought alibaba.com. this is the actual product/seller i chose.

$95 posted express (bought on Thursday, came the following Thursday)

  • AAHH33 can i get some of your lcd films? dont mind to share the cost with you, im based in perth

its all good man. if you want to come pick it up. you can have it. i dont need it. im NOR btw

Been using various suppliers from there for years.

Wasn't too fussed about giving away the LCD suppliers as its not really my market.

Thanks for the link. Just ordered one.

ok, i noticed this happening from time to time before i replaced the screen, and hoped replacing the screen would fix it. but from time to time the mfd is just a blank white screen.

and since i have replaced the screen it is frustrating me now. for example, out of the last 5 drives in the car, 2 out of the 5 times the screen has just been blank white. goes white, then i turn the car off and on again, and its back to normal/

Anybody know what is causing this?

Box it up with your old screen and send it across. I had one do this before and sorted it. I have the schematics for the MFD & the display itself.

    • Thanks, I'll give that a go. Hard pass on the steel bushings though 😄
    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
