LCD fade

[DangerDave]

My LCD display on the instrument cluster has faded almost completely away (due to heat or sunlight, I guess?) I've researched a little on replacement of the polarizing film but I am curious if anyone here has done this particular repair and if so,  can you offer advice/pointers?  This is on a 2005 VFR800A.

Well, thanks but this doesn't have anything to do with the 
LCD display?!?

I wonder if your problem might be due to a Power or Ground issue.

 

- The LCD's have their own Ground and its the Green/Black wire to the Instrument Panel. Check this wire make sure it has good continuity back the the Battery Negative.

- Make sure the main Instrument Panel Ground, Green wire is the same continuity wise.

- Also confirm you are seeing a good solid 12v at the Red/Green wire, Instrument Panel main power.

- Might be worth unplugging the panel connector make sure its clean and making good contact. A spray of good Electrical contact lube like CRC2-26 or similar might help.

 

Good Luck.
