It seems the problem with the multi-display screen and the eventual remedy varies from one instance to another. Whilst I accept that the screen could conceivably fail it would appear that most of the faults could be as a result of the cabling and in particular the LVDS cable linking the unit to the back of the radio. Now here is the rub, my local dealer has told me that the cable is part of the screen and cannot be fitted or bought separately. Ironically they showed me a unit that had been replaced under warranty with the cabling intact. I immediately asked what was to be done with the unit as the cable, to all intent and purposes looked fine, and apparently on the the say so of Peugeot it would be 'binned' I immediately offered to buy the unit but, at the moment, they are not in a position to sell it although there is a slim chance it may become available.
If anyone has succeeded in having the cable changed I should be extremely grateful if they could let me know via this forum as I would then pursue a positive result with that in mind. As previously mentioned, the cost of the cable should be insignificant compared the amount necessary to replace the whole screen. Having dis-assembled the unit as far as the LVDS cable, I must admit it does look like the cable disappears into the unit making it extremely difficult for the amateur to disconnect it. Any comments gratefully received.
