Dashboard display missing

I expect many owners have or have had this problem. 1994 CDX. The display has many "bits missing" and virtually unreadable. Is there a cure? Can it be replaced/repaired/changed. Thanks

I believe they can be repaired if you're very very good with a soldering iron. Best option is to replace, try ebay or one of the breakers on here Thumbs Up!

You do need to replace with one of the early unreliable ones though  Cry

the later more reliable ones have different connectors

The Yellow connector MID's can be replaced with the grey plug MID if you are good with a soldering iron and making up looms / modifying PCB's Thumbs Up!

How do you get at the screw if the steering column is fiexed? I.E. it does not have the lever to move it up and down etc. Thanks
