It isn't black, and it still works. there's a small line in it; anything left of that line (the AC/Heat level) won't show.

 

was it like that before?

sometimes after a little while.. the blackness does go away... but the fact remains... the screen is damaged.

dunno what to say... you're gonna have to pay to get a new one.

 

Well, there was always a small "blemish" and i didn't think about it. Once it was moved around, it started "oozing" through. Either way, I'm taking it to the dealer since the car is only 6 months old, and it needs oil change and what not, as well.

 

well.. you never know.

good luck.

 

If you take it apart, I bet the crack starts at about the 5th pin or so (starting from the left and counting to the right) on the LCD, and runs in a curved path upwards. I have had 6 people send me boards that they cracked LCD screens on, and I think 4 of them had that same exact crack in them. Strange that it would be in the same place that often, but that is what I see. The fan indicator will either not work, or will only display one bar. Nothing else to the left will display. If the dealer does not fix it, car-part.com is your friend. Make sure if you have an 07 to get an 07 board. They changed it that year.

 

That's about where mine is I think. And I have an 06. if the dealer doesn't fix it, then i don't mind paying $50 for a new one through car-part.com....

 

Woooo, the dealer is going to take care of EVERYTHING-totally under warranty. my advice, if you're gonna break the clock, do it within 6 months and 5000 miles of owning the car.
