Just bought a w210 over the weekend. Was able to fix the temp side but the gear selector side wouldn’t come to clarity 😂 - thanks for a very easy tutorial!
Thank you.I tried this before from a post on the MB forum and it only held for a little while,but now because of your video I see how it has to be done.Thanks again.
Nice video< however for those who own these w210's I can tell you that a 2001 e430 (which I have), has changed the backing support to a silicone/rubber type and there is no degradation. So you will have to re-establish the contacts by other means or order the ribbon kits you can by online.
Used this trick but it didn't really work for me meaning the actual LCD's are fooked.... Made the Time and Gear Position better - actually see what I'm in now - but not the Time or Temp... But great video - thanks!
hi friend, ı purchased the ribbon cable from aliexpres help me please, this product is have paper backing, need to remove the paper ? or not directly soldering with paper. thanks for answer
Im going to buy a 1997 c200 with the top half of the mileage pixels dead would this be a cure.If i had to change the ribbons would that set the mileage to zero thanks for any replies.
You guessed wrong but this is a bush fix, watch the Russian similar video.... You need to order new ribbons from ebay and a t bar soldering bit, this job is for a trained man like me, but be my guess, order extra ribbon... 🤔
8 Years later and this is still extremely useful. Thank You from Australia
Вы уже починили? Как результат?
Thank you!! This is the simplest and quickest solution. No need for any special spare parts and it works! Genius!

Awsome video! Gonna try it on my s210 as soon as i get home! Thanks so much! Almost send it out for repair for $100 ! ! !
The position of the gearbox is still not visible. why? The car is an automatic or manual transmission?
What kind of LED light bulbs do those section of the dashboard use? Specs for those would be much appreciated🙏

Great instructions but something went wrong. Side displays got a litter better however, my miles and information display disappeared on me.
Szia! Szalagkábelt hol lehet beszerezni és milyen néven kell keresni? Köszi a választ!
My clock/gear selector improved after this but temperature still very faded. Mileage is very faded too. Any suggestions?
MrPetejames change the bulb on the dashboard
I guess those 5 dislikes on this video are the repair guys robbing people for a simple job LOL

Hi!
Which cabel i use to test if i succeeeded to get back
all pixels on my car
Sincerely
Micke
Is this fix currently still working? Just curious if the pixels went out again once the foam compresses over time. Thanks!
Did nothing for me. All the old bulbs decided to blow with all the knocking around so putting it back together and seeing it was worse was fun.....
А я думал тут будет пайка и полный разбор))) ахахахха
Nice job. Still holding up?
Yeah Right! What a bull Crap Fix! DID YOU NOTICE THE SHIFT INDICATOR NOT SHOWING GEAR POSITION? THIS GUY IS A "SNAKE OIL" SALESMAN!
Did u just put some foam back there and the pixels came back? How? Werent they broken? How can some foam replace pixels?
the foam put pressure on the cable where it connect to the circuit board, and therefore makes much better contact.
Brilliant!!
Ah man you saved me heaps awesome
simple?
Please tell me how to get tje parts for my mersedez 2001
