Dead pixel failure repairs on Opel MID / OBC LCD display
Old Opel Vauxhall Omega, Astra, Meriva and other makes have the common dead / fading / disappearing pixels on the LCD display that shows the time, radio, and the on board computer messages and other functions. The problem lies with the ribbon cable / flat cable that connects the LCD display to the circuit board of the instrument cluster. The pictures below show the OBC’s LCD display before and after the LCD display / ribbon flat cable replacement.

If you see “bond-less” in the item description, then you buy a ribbon cable which does not have to be soldered in – in can be replaced simply without a soldering iren or other special tools.
If you see “heat seal connector”, then you will also need a soldering iron, and a “T head” to solder the ribbon cable in.
