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.

Thanks for information bro. As per conversation, I'd see you tonight, I'd be there probably 10pm-12am, we sama2 racun2 among ourselves tonight @ Citta :)
 
Hi bro haywire,

Do you need the special heat sealing T-head to seal the heat sealable ribbon cable on the LCD panel for the E38 MID?

Need your experience as I plan to DIY my totally done pixle on my E38.
 
Hi bro, that depends on which type of ribbons you buy.

The ones we bought from Hungary does not need T-irons, as its totally based on pressure. Some cellotape is needed to align the ribbon.

Those China ones, which most will need a T-iron, I'll say don't bother. I've seen the material they used. I've repaired a few clusters that uses those and failed after 6 months. They needed re-doing again.

MID ribbons are really hard to get right. I try to avoid doing them, clusters are much more easier to do.

Good luck bro.
 
Hi all,

Haywire... are you still doing the replacement service? Mine is turning from bad to worse ... need to change...

Pls let me know if its still available.

Thx
