For some strange reason the digital readout on both these in a Rover Metro
86 are both so low that they can only be read at night.

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks




Re: Stereo & clock

Have you left the lights on ?



Re: Stereo & clock

Its not connected to lights, the digital readout on both the clock and radio
are both incredibly low, so can only be read at night when very dark. I'm
wondering if this is a common fault, or fixable.

Thanks




Re: Stereo & clock

They dim when you turn on the lights so that they are not too brighrt when
you are driving at night in the dark.




Re: Stereo & clock

No, I can't see them unless its very dark, the LCD display is very very low.




Re: Stereo & clock

Has the bulb in the back gone futt?



Re: Stereo & clock

No its the digital display




Re: Stereo & clock

No its the digital LCD display




Re: Stereo & clock

So, it lights up correctly when you put the sidelights on, but the digits
are fading or missing, correct?

Would that be the digital LCD display with the redish looking digits? Cos
if it is it has a bulb behind the display that makes it glow. Change the
bulb and hey presto. Bright digits.

Re: Stereo & clock

There's no bulb.

The Stereo display is LCD

The clock is a little LCD clock in the dash board, they're both digital
style.








Re: Stereo & clock

So the colour of the digits is black on a silver grey background, as per the
LCD wrist watch type?





Re: Stereo & clock

Hole in one..

Then the fade is caused by the lcd display failing.

And you need a new clock.

worth a try



Re: Stereo & clock

Or, get a nice tv repair shop to see if a new set of led modules can be
fitted.
