Exclamation Do you know if it's repairable?

I'd like o know if the Climate H.U. is repairable on my C43 AMG,
it has the famous pixel problems, they are dissapearing while driving.
I have to tap the display with my finger and the numbers will come back for a while.

I like to know if this problem can be fixed or Do I have to buy a new one.

Can you tell me where to buy a new H.U. cheap.

Is it possible to change the FAHRENHEIT to CELSIUS with MB computer software because I live in Europe, we use celsius here?
Buying parts from USA for my c43 is cheaper, than Europe.

Mine was really bad 2 months ago. I pulled it out and pulled out those things on the side of the climate control. I just used a flat screw driver and opened them a little bit and put the whole thing back. It helped big time, now and than it fades but never like it use to before.
