607 Screen Display -Dull

[Nigel Adelaide]

My screen on my 607 2002 3.0l is very bright and clear when we first start the car and for a while after but gradually fades so that it is difficult to read althougth still there but perfect again when start the next day . Any ideas ?

[john_h]

how long does it take to go from perfect to nearly unreadable? if its within seconds, sounds like its dying but if it take a few minutes sounds like bulbs or loose connection working its way out when it gets warm and vibrations etc.

just a guess, thinking of the 307 MFD, if they are at all similar,

hope this helps

Thanks it takes 10 to15 mins before it starts to fade and gradually fades over a longer period but not completely and i can still read it with difficulty bits of lines drop out so you maybe correct just poor connections will try that .

[john_h]

if lines are dropping off, and the connections are fine, the screens on its last legs.

Will check connections but you maybe correct that it is on its last legs .

Just to help out here, what cck2k9 means that the display is about to die/fail/break. It could well have to be replaced.
Good luck with it

It stayed fully bright for 18mins but was still readable all day yesterday but faded If it dies that is that as anew screen nearly impossible in OZ so i will take all the luck I can get. Thanks

I cant imagine how much a new screen would cost! I have the 7 inch screen on mine, so fingers crossed this wont fade too!

Cheers Nigel in Accrington

Mine is only 4.5 inches wide as we dont have the sat nav phone part here as you dont need it in Adelaide . In oz they will cost 3 times what they would in uk as there are so few of these cars although parts for local cars are fairly good
Cheers Nigel

ok, try this, apparently the radio connected to the display (if stock) can send currupted lines to it, so try disconnecting the radio and see if it displays fine. if it does its a new radio if not well its back to what was being said. not sure if this is the same fault as being discussed here:
