E38 video gone blank

[alantiong]

Hi guys, Its my turn to find a problem in my E38. It is my video screen. One day its working fine with TV reception and all, one day screen turn blank. Back light is on but no details. Even OBC is all gone. Radio still work though.I did swap a meter while waiting for my original meter's pixel to be fixed. I had a temporary meter but the display was working while i was using it.when i got my meter back, i did not check for the display before i put in the new meter though. I only realised it is gone when i have already done. If i need to fix it , anyone know where to go??I will hate to change it.Alan

Hi Alan,

From your problem description chances are there is a problem with your IKE. Instrument Cluster .

Had a similar problem with my friends car, changed the IKE, all works fine. but there could be other problems as well. I would recon if you could strike out the possible problem by reading this pdf.

Hope this helps..
