After purchasing the 'Do it yourself' version of instructions on Ebay to fix the missing pixel problem, I realized what a mistake it was to try and conquer the problem myself. I was a complete failure at it. After pressing on the contacts of the ribbon cable with a ballpoint pen, I broke the glass of the display. I am not sure if I was pressing on the correct end of the cable so I proceeded to press on both sides, the side connected to the chip board, and the side connected to the glass display, hence cracking the display. I was actually applying very little pressure and it broke very easily. Now I put the unit back together and re-installed it in the car until I can get a replacement. It still works just about the same as before, with the missing pixels. But now no numbers appear at all for the clock. I will have to live with it for awhile.
I have spent a small amount of time searching for a used or new part on-line. I did not find any used parts, only new with a wide range of prices. Do you know where I can get a used part that is in good working condition for a reasonable price. The economy is horrible right now and the extra $300-400 is all but impossible for me right now.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
