STI Genome gauge - LED problem

[RobinP87]

Hi Guys,

Recently I encountered following problem with one of my STI Genome gauges :

Half of the gauge is not lightning up.

The strange thing about it, is that sometimes it lights up again, but then after a short time it goes out again.

I checked the electrical wires at the back of the gauge & the control unit, but everything there seems to be OK.

Can anyone help me with this problem or has encoutered the same situation and has got a solution for this (except from buying a new one).

Any help is much appreciated!

As part of it is lit and the gauge still functions I would say your rear wiring connectors are fine. It would point to a break where the LED mounts the PCB (as it is intermittent) or worse a component that supplies the voltage to the LED is on the way out. As these will all be surface mount components it is not impossible to repair but a large magnifying glass and steady hands is a must have
