[Big Gordy]

My Mercedes’ glc coupe screen has gone all pixelated. No reverse camera radio sat nav etc. any ideas people.

Read somewhere if you hold the eject cd button on the dash for 15 seconds it does a reboot of the comand screen and system. I went out to try that this morning and before I got the chance it was work as it should. I don’t understand what has happened.
I must admit I was thinking here we go my warranty ran out last week.
However all good.

It can be a TFT display failure or the ribbon cable no longer making a decent connection to the board.

ahh electric gremlins, if it works then great, not sure what command you have but there are vids on replacing the screen itself on the tube of you

I know it’s too early to say it’s fixed. But I felt my sphincter tighten at the thought of a large bill from a dealer to sort the problem.

I certainly would not use a dealer for a failing screen (if it is that) a dealer would replace the entire unit and I could imagine that costing big big money.

The screens if i recollect are made by Toshiba and available. If you are handy as mentioned it will cost a fraction.

It’s been a week now and it’s behaved it’s self.
