    My white strip where the screen sits was soldered on in 2 places, aftermarket butcher or genuine 2001 e39 530i standard?
    Also pulled the Temp gauge just enough to totally wreck it. Be careful there. P.S. I used emery boards (nail files) to finish cleaning.
    A very good and clear picture of the 4 clips on each connector is required !

    Hi, great video. But one suggestion, can you edit and add to the beginning to check the bulbs on the back of the instrument panel that they are not burned out and define lack of illumination because the bulb(s) are burned out and actual pixel failure. It’s easy to think the lcd strip provides the illumination and think because it’s not glowing orange that it’s the strip when in fact it’s bulbs burned out. Also some BMW including my 2005 X5 use a different lcd assembly and ribbon which is different and costs a lot more money. God Bless.

      Best to just replace all of the bulbs if one is going to go through this labor intensive process. Those bulbs are OLD!

    I just did mine with the ribbon-only kit as it came with my car. Still having problems though with missing/feint LCD pixels, so I’ve just ordered a unit with a new screen attached to the ribbon, like you’ve used.
    Hoping for better results.

    Great video, but I have a question that I'm sure you can answer for me. Rather than melting holes to get to the hidden screws, why don't you remove the instrument needles and lift the panel off. I was just about to do this to mine and then figured there is probably a very good reason why you don't do it that way.
    Thanks again, Martin.

    • @TheBimmerBarn
      @TheBimmerBarn  Год назад

      Yeah, great question! The reason is that the needles are attached in a very specific manner to the motors behind the panel. If you remove the needles, you'll have a VERY hard time reinstalling them in the correct position (otherwise gauges won't be accurate). hope that makes sense, thanks for watching!

      Retiras los topes de las agujas y ellas bajan sola a su posición en descanso sin topes, ahí pegas una cinta haces una marca con un marcador sobre la cinta y después las vuelves a colocar frente a la marca, subes las agujas con el dedo y vuelves a colocar los topes de las agujas, de esa manera no se pierde la calibración de fábrica…

    Using a soldering iron is the stupidest thing to do. Unfortunately, I figured this out late. A Dremel tool will do little damage and access screws as well.

    • @greebj
      @greebj Год назад

      Not stupid at all, I fix plastic things all the time with a temp controlled soldering iron. You can set it to just hot enough and it won't go through PCB and there's no chance of damaging the screw head.

  • @NdnaJnz7
    @NdnaJnz7 3 года назад

    Hmm... The (Amazon) description of the LCD panel with ribbon cable you specify states it must be bonded to the circuit board with a T-bar soldering tip. You did not seem to do that in this video. Or did I totally miss something? Is that Amazon seller now selling a different assembly?

    • @TheBimmerBarn
      @TheBimmerBarn  3 года назад

      You're correct! T-solder is recommended but if you clean the contacts well, the assembly itself actually presses the circuits against each other, making a solid connection.

    Do you know if driving the vehicle without the cluster will present any issues? Codes?

    • @TheBimmerBarn
      @TheBimmerBarn  3 года назад

      I'm certain it will cause some fault codes, but you could likely drive a car like this. It would probably lead to a tampering dot on the cluster because of a mileage difference when you reinstalled. This can be coded out by a professional. Good luck!

I think when I drilled the hole the drill bit picked up the clear plastic sheet under the face and must have pulled the needle up a mm or 2 which stuffed the internal spring. I just hope the parts don't take too long for the repairer to get in.

    also, seeing the Seafoam and oxygen sensors on your shelf there it's perfectly clear your an enthusiastic amateur ... Oxygen sensors must come from the dealership... always... even though they are Bosch brand, there's a quality difference between the dealer and anywhere else.. Same goes for spark plugs... Don't know why but it's absolutely a fact. Also, you must replace the O2's in pairs, both the pre and post cat at same time, and for the V8's, it's best to replace ALL FOUR, even if only one is bad... that's just how it is. Also, Seafoam is terrible shit... don't use it. For a fuel additive, use the Techron one that's just straight Techron, or BG.
