DB9 Instrument Cluster

[Gregor01]

Hi all, I got a DB9, 2006 mod. I purchased it from LA in the US, and I have a problem with visibilities on the digital display. It looks like there is a plastic film on the display, and it is burned by heat/sunlight. It is all functioning but it is very difficult to see the details in daylight. Is there anyone that know where I can find a new digital display part without changing the whole instrument cluster? Looking forward to all the response Regards Geir

Is this what you need?

Hi Steve, no it is not what I need. It is the electrical instrument digital display. Sorry for my bad UK wording

Geir, have you looked on the website, even an email to them, they can source most iitem

Steve, they will look for a replacement for me. However, they do not have any in stock for the moment. In addition, I think it is a bit expensive to pay almost £1000 when the one I got is functioning. The best option for me is to find a used damaged one that I can use for parts. The only part I need is the digital display.

Hi Gregor01

I am facing the same issue, did you manage to fix/replace the melted screens?

[telum01]

I've seen this on a few DB9s. As far as I know, the only way to fix it is to replace the entire instrument cluster. I don't think the lens is available separately, and not sure it can be removed/resurfaced (haven't tried, though).

I see this thread is a little old, are you still searching? I have one sitting on a shelf

I have the same issue. Did you find a way to replace just the LCD part without replacing the entire instrument cluster?

No need to replace the instrument cluster. Over a month ago I was looking for a DB9 and found it in Ft. Lauderdale (I live on the opposite side of Florida in Naples). Since I couldn't see the car I had a PPI done and the PPI people described this issue with the display (along with a photo). My salesman (Joe Infante) brought in a speedo specialist who took apart the cluster and within an hour it was repaired. Joe works for Mint Motorcars if anyone wants more detail. The DB9 now sits in my garage and the display is perfect.

Do you know what work was done? I live in Hong Kong, so Florida is little too far for me but hopefully I can find someone locally to do the same. Thanks

Since they were paying for it I didn't pay much attention. I do have before and after pictures. Their phone (Mint Motorcars) is 1-954-763-2742 and ask for Joe Infante, Mention to Joe the 2005 black DB9 and my name is Jim from Naples. I do have before and after pictures of the cluster.
