Hi
I've just bought a BMW 528 e39 and there are quite a few pixels missing
from
the dash including odometer and the information display below it, they seem
to disapear in warmer conditions as i have been able to read the odometer on
some occasions, Can this be fixed i.e by re-soldering or does the whole
panel have to be replaced.
Many thanks in advance
Deano

The general view is that it can't be fixed - it's a very densely packed
panel. Replacement is the only option.

According to the experts on the E39 forum it's not possible. I've not
looked at one since mine is ok.
