Help please! 200 series dashboard clock/radio display

I've certainly cured partial calculator displays by cleaning up the contact pads, and there's no way to avoid dismantling it !

mines like that - it doesn't matter how many times I set it, I can see it clearly in the day but not at night - bulb seems to work on the opposite 12 hours that I want!

you are reffering to the "backlight" which is a simple replacement operation,. i think the problem here is with the LCD display itself only displaying a few lines. in which case replace unless you are competent enough to strip the unit and check the LCD connections, if they are ok then the LCD itself is faulty and should be replaced.

Does seem to be a common fault. I saw partial failure of the clock in two

200 series cars that I went to see before I bought my current wheels (P-reg 214Si). Now my clock has failed too (about half of the final digit).

Will try cleaning contacts as suggested by another poster.
