Radio Display is half dark
Hi All,
Just got the Volvo S40 2004, and when i get home, i realize that half of display is dark ( the top side of display) everything is working fine, except i can't see all the functions properly. Is there any way if i change only Lcd screen, would it work and ain't gonna need any software update, does any second hand Lcd would fit? In reality you just change the Lcd unit, not the radio, so everything should work. Maybe anyone knows about this more. |

Two options - either the display connection is faulty (don't think so) or the display has been hit somehow, then you'd need a new one. Buy one on ebay and install it - it's pretty easy don't even need to remove the central console - search on youtube how to do that. don't know regarding the software update though.. anyway if the display is faulty you will need a new one and if then you need the software update then your local volvo dealer will do that..

then first thing you could do is to clean the connectors.. they are optical ones, might help.. I was looking for some solutions for my problem and checked display removal/change procedure in vida.. please find it attached. unfortunately it says the software should be updated.. :-/ hope in your case cleaning might help.. let us know..
P.S. Overall the fact that you need to purchase new software each time anything is updated is becoming annoying.. :-(
