Hi all
I went away and had my car idle for like 8 days, winter here in Melbourne and the temperature was like 3 to 12 degrees during the time.
When I got back jumped in the car and noticed my monitor gone from black background to yellow and the white writing is also yellow pictures attached.
Anyone know best way to fix or what may be the cause.
I looked in the manual can’t find anything in troubleshooting

fun with instrument clusters is quite common,

I'd look for a local place that check for dry solder joints and replaces aged capacitors....
If you can swing a soldering iron, you could probably get it as good as it was when new for 1A$, although a bit of experience of what to fiddle with always helps

for example.... http://www.clusterrepairsuk.co.uk/repair/model/mercedes-w209-clk-class-instrument-cluster-speedo

here's an Oz one I just found
