3rd gen Digital clock not working.

Hey guys, on my clocks i have a digital clock face that does not show the time, the light comes on as with the odometer speedo etc but no display, i've checked all the wires in the back all intact. anyone else with a similar problem on how to fix it. is it a common occurrence with the 3rd gen

 

I had the same problem with my VFR and it seems that when going old, the LCD does disappear. Just light but no time.. I looked a while for replacement but the new one costs almost 300 euros, so I gave up and replaced it with small battery clock with thermometer. Later I have found few full instrumental modules with the clock from eBay.de for less than 100 euros, you could look there if you need a new one.

 

Where and how much was the clock/ thermometer you replaced it with i was thinking of something along the same lines?

 

Just the battery operated cheap one, cost about 5 euros. I placed it between the dash and the screen, so it is pretty well safe from the rain. I also added a volt meter where the clock originally was.
