Title: Mk3 Gti Multi Function Display
Post by: clivusdel on 24 January 2011, 17:26

my M/F/D has decided to hide?

only some of the digits appear sometimes.

if button is pushed, you can see some digits still change, but un-readable.

any ideas what may cause this?
 :sick:

Sounds like the display is fecked. Don't think you can change it individually, so new clocks time I think.

someone said it may be a bad connection?
or maybe dampness?

It's common for old plasma displays to mess up mate, it happens with age. Don't think damp or a bad connection would cause that.
