Helps if we know some details - not sure about anyone else but my crystal ball is on the fritz (probably cos it is made my Land Rover)

Vehicle?? L320 L322 P38 Classic
Engine?? 4.0 4.2SC 4.4 4.6 2.5 300TDi 200TDi
Year?? 1970 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 959 96 97 98 99 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12

Usually it is just the little lamps behind the display on the P38 - on the L322 it is the LCD connections that go U/S

I had the same issue on my L322 and the whole unit had to be replaced, wasnt cheap either. They can be repaired which mine was originally but it started playing up again a few weeks later

The P38 is a backlit panel using little bulbs...

The L322 uses a side/top/bottom (not sure where they are locataed) illuminated LCD screen.

Nice pic yes three bulbs to Illuminate but not for the hundreds of digital messages ie pixels

Oh no not the pixels no....

Usually on the P38 if the pixels are faded or the display is completly missing, it is the bulbs at fault....

If the odd pixel here and there are missing, that means a new display is req.

Sorry Def. seems like we were talking cross purposes!!

 

[Bromsgrove Defender]

FFS! Whether it's back lit wiv little bulbs, an LCD, LED or any other screen, pixals or pixels............

If it int working could it possibly be the power lead??

Hell lets get radical it might even be fused or not earthed proper

Anyone??

Very first problem on mine was the display disappeared - duhh until i found the dimmer switch - suppose it's called a "dimwit"

Later i've changed out the bulbs as i bought a whole set
