Flickering MMI screen
My screen has been flickering at random for a few months now, when it starts, i give the side of the frame a tap, and it stops for a while. But it was slowly getting worse. I've seen teardown videos on youtube, and removing the screen with the mechanism is quite a big job, so i was putting it off until it failed altogether.
However, last weekend i was looking at used screens on ebay and some of the really good pictures clearly showed that the screen hooks onto the mechanism with 4 hook type brackets. I went to the car armed with a screwdriver set and a little torch. I could see to torx screws retaining the screen briefly as it rose & fell when i pressed the button. Finally on the rise motion, i grabbed the screen, stalling it in a "not quite up" position allowing me access to the torx screws. https://ibb.co/x3Lq2Y0 The screws are really long and loosened enough to lift then hook off the screen. https://ibb.co/kBjd3kG I removed the bottom power connector, and the round display connector and reconnected several times, and shook the screen but there was nothing loose. I then refitted the screen and it hasn't flickered since, but it's only been a week. There was a fault logged in 5F that i cleared for the stalled screen mechanism. Albert
