    Astra MFD successfully fixed!

    Howdy.

    A couple of weeks ago, I sent my Astra's MID display off for repair in Hungary, a private repair service under the name "Pixelfix LTD." I got it back today with very happy results.

    All up I paid $140 for the repair and posting it to them, and they fixed it up within 24 hours of receiving and freighted it back, and it got to me in 4 days.

    http://www.diyparadise.net/opel_display_repair.html

    That's the link to the website I ordered the repair from.

    Unfortunately I don't have a photo of my screen before the repair, but it was very badly affected and only 2-3 characters were recognisable.

    But here's a photo of the display now, as soon as I got it.

    That's great. At that price I'm not going to even bother trying to do the repairs myself.

    I would've bought the repair kit from some other foreign website, but as there's a lot of contacts that need precision soldering, I won't risk it as it would be a very expensive mistake if I wrecked it.

    Nice one. Can you give us an update in a few weeks/month?

    No worries.

    So far, it's been working perfectly, even lately through the 40c days. Perfect.

    Being lazy here, not clicking the link.

    Do they sell coloured screens or only repairs?

    only repairs.

    The only colour screen for these that was offered in the G was a 5" one which we never got in aus.
    was the same as what came as an option in the overseas H.

    Cool, thanks for that! Another reason not to mod. Click here to enlarge
