Hi I've just bought a BMW 528 e39 and there are quite a few pixels missing from the dash including odometer and the information display below it, they seem to disapear in warmer conditions as i have been able to read the odometer on some occasions, Can this be fixed i.e by re-soldering or does the whole panel have to be replaced. Many thanks in advance Deano

The general view is that it can't be fixed - it's a very densely packed panel. Replacement is the only option.
i have done this a couple of times on the above model by re-soldering
According to the experts on the E39 forum it's not possible. I've not looked at one since mine is ok.
Dave Plowman mumbled:
Ah, always beware of experts who tell you something's impossible!
