LED Burnout..

[Scoobain]

Does anyone have a clue as to how replace/fix etc. the LED readouts on the dash of the 2001 + E320? Having difficulty getting answers.

You guys are very good at help and would appreciate any input where others have gone before!

Thanks again,
Lisa

I'm not and E-anything expert but,

Normally LED's dont burn out - usually the wires that go to the LED go bad/get disconnected somehow - I'd look there first. (do the LED's get pressed in somehow ? did someone just have the cluster out of the car ?)

LEDs supposedly last for decades. Low heat. They're really good for hard to service ceiling lights in houses, you know, multiple can lights on high ceilings.

do you mean the pixels?

[gmercoleza]

I think you mean LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) pixels. I believe these fail when the form is ruptured or compromised for whatever reason and the liquid actually leaks out. I think the liquid can lose its reactive properties as well. No fix as far as I know.

I'm so glad someone straightened me out! I knew LED didn't sound right but no one to bounce these things off of..too bad about the no fix.

Will investigate further.
