The dash in my newly bought Tam has been away due to it having lines missing in the LCD display.
It's been fine for 3 weeks, but now it has a small snowflake like mark on it when I switch on....
Any ideas....???

while we're on the subject. mine appears to have dimmed itself. is there a way of making it more visible? (aside from replacing it, magnifying glass or better bifocals??)

Go into the pod menu and reset the brightness/contrast.

In case anyone didn't know, you can buy the LCD display with the correct connectors already fitted - although about £150:

dodgy connection somewhere would be my guess, you will need to take the pod out and check all the plugs are connected properly. Also check the solder connections to the PCB if iwas one of those displays that need the connectors adding
