2002 C230 Kompressor Coupe
2002 C230 Coupe Dash LCD/LED Failing

i have a 2002 C230 Kompressor. The In dash information
LED works when it is cool but as the day progresses and the temperature goes up the information displayed is going bad. This i know is due to age and heat. I am interested in replace this. Is there a post with pictures where someone has done this? Do you need to disconnect the battery to replace this LED pannel? If so will i need a code to re-activate/restart the car. i have seen this posted somewhere But I dont remember where. Any help is appreciated

1st. This board has a search function, the rule of this board is to search first, ask questions if you can't find the answer. This topic has been discussed much as its a common issue. I am having it as well. Its easy to remove the dash after seeing info in this forum, but finding a replacement LCD that works is difficult. If you google search Instrument repair Mercedes you may find companies that, if you send them your instrument cluster will repair it for you. Most places charge about $300 with shipping both ways.

Here if a link to information on this topic that has already been discussed that does have some helpful tips.

Good luck.

I am looking at ways to get this fixed to, if I find a way to get it fixed that works that can be beneficial to others I will share.

As a new person to the forums, any time you post a question you will probably be told to search first, what you may want to do, what I do and I have seen others do is in your post if you have a question, mention you have used the search function.

I have a 04 C240 4Matic and love it!
