Pixel repair on 51 plate 210

[aa1]

Hi, can anybody tell me the fix for the pixel display on a 210. I recall reading a post on how to do it some time ago but I am unable to find it. I also need to replace a couple of bulbs so I might as well try and have the clock ect working as well when I have the binnacle out. regards AA

You have to take the cluster apart and pack the ribbon cable ends where they join onto the main PCB.

This is done by cutting up small rubber / plastic wedges and pushing them in between the top of the ribbon and the connector forcing the the ribbon to make better contact with the PCB

Thanks very much for the advice and the link. I had no trouble and the displays are now as normal. cheers AA
