Group buy: MID & instrument cluster ribbon / ring / bulb

[theblackbeast]

Just now (or 12/04/2012 about 9pm) I managed to fix my cluster with the chrome rings. Sorry still cant post photos from flickr don't know why?
But I must thank Haywire who guided the group DIY session. I did my own after observing his live guide. MANY THANKS BRO! you rock the DIY world. My next item is the MID.

I have one extra Cluster ribbon for those who want to fix their cluster but didn't join the group buy.

Let me know who wants it. I can install for you.

Can fit E38?

Bro, the ribbon is general use across the model for e38, e39 and e53.

Ok. Good to know. If still available, I'll take it. Will PM bro Haywire for details.

Thanks.

This is Seewai's MID unit after I fixed it:

100% pixel in 1 try. There was only 3 vertical lines left before I fixed it. Now fully confident to fix it for you guys.

[haywire]

Could have cucuk into my car and get the original only-3-vertical-lines-left picture for comparison :banghead: ...but then we were all orgasmic on that cluster that time weren't we?

I did test it on Fariz's car the day before. Thats how I know there's 3 lines left. No photos though.

Ic, I had the 3 lines, delivered together with my ride when I brought her back on Feb 2008.

So it's close to a month now since the ribbon cable repair was done. When I reached home today, I notice about half a line went missing.

Cluster or MID?

It's the MID that has some missing pixels.

I didn't get the cluster one done.

I'll see you again, its the pressure bar not putting enough pressure. Yours was the first MID I fixed so I know more now.
