    Audi A3 8L Dash Display Dead Pixel Repair

    Back on now. in case you are thinking about doing it, I would tell you that this is very precise soldering skills needed to do it. You could always try just heating the existing joints with an iron before replacing, it can also be that the joint has dried and will cause problems too.

    Audi A3 8L Dash Display Dead Pixel Repair

    i think that without the rubber strips either side for the screen to sit on that is what will happen, because the backlight will be on but no pixels will come on. good luck.

    there is a rubber strip that the lcd screen sits on, well there is 2 actually one either side of the screen that props it in place. if they fell out by mistake the screen won't work. maybe that's the problem with it.

    Audi A3 8L Dash Display Dead Pixel Repair

    yeah i used a hairdryer on hot. i know its quite time consuming to take it all out and do it again if it doesnt work but i think safer than going too hot too quick if its not needed. i did heat it up a fair bit though.
