Hello!
Typical problem, needs the ribbon cable connector on the LCD (Sharp model no cant remember) resoldered. You will need a soldering iron with very fine tip, a magnifying glass and very steady hands. It also helps to have multimeter (with very fine prongs) to check if the soldering worked.

Could be the ribbon cable to the LCD Panel or it could be the LCD Panel itself is on its way out.

If your up for the job repair yourself, or from memory theres a Ebay Item (in Germany I think) who offer repairs on the CID.

Guy is called Gerners   lasertrader.de     and they offer a full service on most NCDC repairs...unfortunately they could fix mine as the main processor is dead so no nav but all else works .

Their service is quick and reliable ...you send item to them and almost the same day they email back with the cost..fixed in another day and then posted back

The Processor is in the main HU no, what did you get on the CID?, was it just a Black Screen where the Maps should be?

Hi Chris.

No disc keeps getting spate out despite it being a genuine VX disc.When I tried an audio disc it just kept the disc and wouldn't eject it...nor play it.

Gerners had it twice...first time they replaced the laser and mechanism and returned it but fault remained.They had it back and tried it again on a test rig and said something about a processor with 100 pins had failed and parts weren't available and even if they were unsoldering and resoldering a new processor wasn't an option.

Unit works fine just no nav working so if you know a fix glad to talk

Easy enough to change the processor board (if you know pairing code, and have a tech2), but I'm suspicious its that.

TBH, I smell some BS you've been fed

[amba]

Being non electrical I need to rely on advise given,

Fancy having a look at it form me then ?Not sure if I have the code though as CID was replaced a few years ago but will have a look

[TheBoy]

what happens when you attempt to select Nav?

[amba]

When disc is insert it says it cannot read data and it ejects it almost straight away.If I keep pushing it back in after about 5 or 6 attempt message appears the their is a disc error and advises to clean disc.

I have several genuine VX discs and despite cleaning all of them they all give the same message .

There is no sound of a disc spinning purely being drawn in and then ejecting.

Fault has been present now for 8 or more months prior to that all was working fine and no different discs have been inserted

Hmm, yea Im not convinced either, based on how many NCDC become bricks due to Processor issues, never heard of one, worst I heard is a couple losing the ROM Chip symptoms of that show up as FM Radio faults, my money would be on the upper Laser. 

As TB says if youve could the Code, a lot more options are available to you, seem to remember you have GSM Telematics fitted to it as well.

[amba]

The laser and mech were allegedly replace but problem still existed hence why it was returned to Gerners and they diagnose fault was processor .
I don’t think I have the code as bought unit and screen off twiglet about 5 years ago and worked perfectly .
Unit is 2013 no telematics but full colour .
Any takers for repair then naturally happy to provide suitable recompense but unsure what other options I now have as I’m non electrical and must rely on experts

What about audio disks?

[amba]

Tried but doesn’t play anything and disc refuses to eject so haven’t put 1 in again since it last came back from Germany

[TheBoy]

So its a knackered laser then.
