2005 MB C230 Coupe MFD pixel problem

Good day everyone. I recently purchased a 2005 MB C230. I was told that the pixels on the MFD are only from the cold and that they start working once the car warms up. I was douped, obviously! I've been scouring through all the threads about pixel problems but I didn't see anything about my type of MFD. I'm including the pic of the MFD, if anyone knows how to fix it?

you either buy a new cluster from the factory or try to buy this http://www.mte.net/lcd-display-merce...edes-e-g-class and replace it yourself.

^ That's the wrong one. The one in the link is for 2002-2004. With that said, hopefully that site has the 2005-2007 display panel that you need. Good luck.

Looking at the link and catalog slammer111 it says "from 2004" models, wouldn't that mean 2004 and on? I didn't see any other versions. Your sure it's not for a 2005 model car?

Did you even click on the link? That is not the one from the Group buy. I would still recommend the OP email Lisa and make sure it is the correct one for there car but that should be the correct one.

^ The shape looks suspiciously like the 2002-2004 one, but since I don't know for sure, I take back my comments.
