Hi people,
Thanks for taking the time to look at my problem, and maybe you might know
how to solve it Smile
The LCD module is the same one used in the VDO ms4100 navigation computer.
The markings on it are:

LPI7436-2 Q0372214 (0 or O)

Its about 2.5 inches length and 1.5 inches height. Its part of a detachable
display on the face.

A picture of the screen is available here

Thank you for any help!

These displays are almost always custom made for the application. If you need a
replacement, your best bet is to contact the parts dept. of the manufacturer.

Thanks for your response Dave, though thats obviously the first thing I
tried...
VDO never actually sold the face as a spare part and they don't sell any of
the components, so you can't get them. Ive contacted the VDO departments
here and in Germany (where they are made) and nobody is able to help me or
tell me what the actual LCD module is Sad
You can't even get any schematics from VDO, as far as they are concerned the
faulty LCD display on this particular unit is UNREPAIRABLE because they
don't have the parts and they consider it to be a throw away item.

Makes me laugh when I read VDO's advertisements that say Future Proof.

Thanks anyway man
