Default The middle thing .. ?

okay i have no idea what it is called but its come to my attention, i never really cared because i put my gf's picture over it.

well you know the center thing between your rpm and mph that little square that tells if your doors are open etc? well mine is like all retarded, it seems like someone poked it really hard or something, it doesn't show up anything, it just has random red lines everywhere and sometimes it shows the miles i can get with the gas i have, any way i can fix this? i would search it, but i have no idea what its called. yikes.

thanks.

lcd screen/hud/info display. They are very common to flake out w/ bad pixels. No recall or easy fix. About $500 to replace.

that's ur HUD. the only way to fix it is replacement which costs an arm and a leg.

i like the fix idea. do you just set a pic there, or do you tape it? maybe i can get a picture of a working lcd and put over the real thing. better yet, a picture of each set of info, then i can flip thru them in the real order. it'll be the least expensive fix for the lcd screen ever.
