theres a how2 on here or www.vxon.co.uk
it's a case of undoing 4 screws holding the clocks in and then taking the display out- could clean it but if you have a replacement unit then just stick that in

Perhaps we should be recommending our own threads ::)

I'd have been pretty damn accurate but not sure what language you tolerate here!  ;D

lmao! hence why you only talk to the nice members :P
its only like any bunch of people... some are idiots and some are the most helpful people you could ever wish for.

aaaanyway.. the reason i put it was instead of saying.... there's either a link on here on the how2 or theres another site but i wont tell you that just because i dont like them/get on with them which is fair enough but a bit unfair if somebody wants to know something and you wont tell them because you dont get on with people from another site... i'm on lots of sites, including vxon... so there :P

from what i gather oof only exists due to the attitude of the other site. I wouldnt bother with any help from there. Not really appreciated by the admins maybe, but you werent to know.
Are there any pairing issues with those screens? Some later models are, via code. Not sure which one we are talking about.
