theSAABguy Review: Pixelfix.net Replacement SID Ribbon Cable

This is a review and trail of a replacement ribbon cable from pixelfix.net. If you own an older SAAB 9-3 or 9-5 you probably don't have all your pixels on your SID- SAAB Information Display. Amazing results!
Check out my other video... it shows the entire process from start to finish... • theSAABguy Repairs: SA...

This video shows the inside of the display unit a lot more than I did in my video. Good work!

Dude, getting the ribbon back in is one of the trickiest parts of the entire process and that the part your video dies out on? Reshoot!

love your posts!!! installing mine in a day or 2!! btw...is there any chance of a vid for a quick way to change a 9-5 alternator??

I always start from the top edge. Also if you have the old one you can use a pencil and mark the location of the contacts on the small matte black portion of the lcd screen.

Great Video Jay ! Appreciated...

Got to ask, having a SID 1 looking to do this repair, looking at the contacts on the LCD, there only seems to be half as many as there are on the cable, I noticed you had the SID 1 cable too so thought I should ask how the hell do you line them up? I keep looking and far left and right just seems to have loads of the ribbons contacts floating aimlessly.
Any help or advice???

How well has the pixel fix solution held up?

[@envisionelectronics]

I just bought this after accidentally cracking my lcd while trying to pry it out of the dash to change the backlights. Bought a new LCD and ribbon - I tried three times and still have messed up pixels. Giving up.

Do you know if it is the same ribbon cable to the AC Sid panel too?

[@lal5555f]

ok so on the lcd screen do you connect the points on the front where the screen is or on the back where nothing is or does it matter? and when the points are lined up should the big open triangle fit over the white clip that holds the lcd in? because on mine where it looks like the points line up, the open triangle is no where near the clip. please help thanks
