    Thank you! You saved me some money. I did what you showed in the clip in early August 2023. The display has now been in both very hot and very cold weather and it still working perfectly fine. I haven't seen the display faded out ever since. I am fairly amateur at soldering, so I can confirm that this is a fairly easy fix. The hardest part was getting that plastic cover that is above the display.

    Having watched this video I have done mine just now , followed the exam same method and yes as mentioned in the video , you need to add a little force . I was more concerned about scratching or bending the plastic with the removal tool , however I added a bit cloth on the prying tool to avoid any dents . The main clock display is a bit tough but to make it easier watch the video and see where the clips are on the back side , that where the additional pressure is required . I hope my 2 pence worth helps .

    I found the panel comes out easier by releasing/pulling on the left hand side first and then the right side after and remove from both ends once initially released from the two clips on each end. Releasing the right hand end first causes the left hand end to jam up. The way the clips are designed,the panel has to come out and refit parallel to the facia.

    2:42 The actual clock display it's very hard to remove on the opposing side of the speedo, that top clip is a b.
    An easier way is to slide a long zip behind it on the left side. Use the wall of the console to guide it down, then pull both ends of the zip tie towards you.

  • @HarryNixonTube
    @HarryNixonTube 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I did this today.
    Getting the panels out took about 15 mins. But you really did have to yank on them to get them out. Plastic trim tools are a must. Although, the LCD panel broke two of mine!
    Resoldering was very fiddly, not helped by my oxidised soldering tip that I had to sandpaper to get the heat transfer going. But once you get the knack, it doesn’t take too long to do them all.
    Here’s hoping I’ll never have to do that again.

    Good video guide. One thing I would add for anyone who isn't confident with using a soldering iron on such fine connections, you can achieve the same results using SOLDER GLUE applied with the end of a cocktail stick to each connection and the results will work just as well, but your chances of messing up the PCB are much lower.

  • @wouternelissen5292
    @wouternelissen5292 ปีที่แล้ว

    This video convinced me to tackle this job. Thx for the information. Removing the panels can and will be incredibly frustrating. It took me 2(!!) hours to get them all off. Cruelly though, i managed to break one of the clips when putting everything back together 😀. The five pins furthest from the connector were very loose on mine but all pins got some extra soldering. Screen is working perfect again. Unfortunately there's now a loud rattle on bad surfaces which could be due to the broken clip.

    • @takeitapartguy4670
      @takeitapartguy4670  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      hm, depending on which clip it is, I'd get some strong double-sided tape, or cram it full of blutak to stop the rattle. Come to think of it... breaking all the clips off and taping it all would make it much easier to take apart! Hopefully the repair will outlast the rest of the car. Got to be 5 or 6 years now since I filmed that, and display is still fine.

    Honda fined me for 600 euros for the replacement, which i found ridiculous.

    It's the backlight on mine that's the issue. Whilst I've lost a few bits of the LCD display, I found that soldering didn't do anything to fix them. Guess I should multi-meter check each contact but other comments suggest the back light isn't directly related to the solder points.

    Though i have a question, can this method be applied on the "888" digital speedometer problem? Can't seem to find a video on how to fix it.
    A temporary fix is a big smack on the dash but it's only well...temporary.
    Cheers for the video!

    • @takeitapartguy4670
      @takeitapartguy4670  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      If smacking the speedometer fixes the 888 display problem, then it sounds like it is the same sort of issue. I was hitting my stereo display for over a year, with it gradually needing to be hit more and more often, until I decided to fix it. The hitting works because it vibrates the loose/broken connection back into contact. Given the poor soldering on one display, the workmanship is likely the same on the speedo.

    Thanks a lot for the tutorial, very useful! As you mention, some parts and clips are very frustrating to remove... I've managed to get both speedometer and radio screen stuck with each other (I could only remove the speedometer clip close to the radio screen), cracking the plastic part of the speedometer on the opposite side plus the central pin (so the more I pull, the more it breaks). I had to leave them like that because now I cannot put them back as they were and pulling them with all my strength does't seem to work. I'll try again tomorrow, hoping for a miracle...

    • @takeitapartguy4670
      @takeitapartguy4670  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      How did you get on, find your miracle? Sorry to hear that the speedometer cracked on you. They are nightmare things to get out. Probably easy if you've worked in the factory assembling them and know exactly where all the clips are and what the right technique is. But trying to figure it out blind (or even with a TH-cam video) is extremely difficult.

    • @takeitapartguy4670
      @takeitapartguy4670  ปีที่แล้ว

      Damn. At least you know the process now and hopefully the panels come off more easily as they've been taken out once. I'm guessing the solder joint was too cold and brittle. Use more flux, and check out some soldering tutorials. It is tempting to just whack the temperature up on the iron, but that can cause the pads on the board to come off, then you have to run jumper wires, which is a pain. Got to be 5 years now since I filmed the footage, and mine is still fine. Rest of the car is falling to pieces around it though!

  • @hkgkagami

    Hi there, when you solder do you need to ensure the solder at each pin wont touch any of others?

    • @takeitapartguy4670
      @takeitapartguy4670  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi, yes, the solder points must not touch their neighboring pins. That is known as 'bridging', and will basically short circuit the board when power is supplied as signals will be travelling over the bridge to places they shouldn't, then kaput.

    The problem I have is that the air conditioning is not reflected on the radio display, I checked all the connections and resolved the screen (the time and radio looks perfect) but when I turn on the A/C it works but it is not seen on the screen Do you know if there is an internal fuse or something... thanks for the video

    • @takeitapartguy4670
      @takeitapartguy4670  ปีที่แล้ว

      Interesting. I have no knowledge about an internal fuse in the display. It wouldn't make any sense there to be one there as fuses are meant to be accessible for replacement, and the display is not easily accessible. Strange that everything else is displaying properly and just that specific section not working. A wiring diagram would help, then you could identify exactly which pins are related to the air con signal. Got to one available somewhere, it is just a pain finding that stuff because the EU model is different to the more common Civic MK VIII.

      No, you wouldn't be able to melt the pins down with a soldering iron anyway. It has been a while and I should have zoomed in on the video. If there are pins then they are probably coming from the back, going through some holes in the PCB and then the solder is connecting them together. The pins are supposed to be there.

    Not directly relevant but any ideas on how to change the time and date on the display WITHOUT the stock radio unit? The Civic I bought only had an aftermarket radio built in, and I suppose due to the car not being used for a while, the battery was dead at one point which reset the time and date to the default values.

    • @takeitapartguy4670
      @takeitapartguy4670  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi. there may well be other defects which result in the same issue. This one is identified as a loose connection/solder issue, as when it first starts showing signs of failure, you can 'fix' it by hitting it, or pushing certain parts of the screen. All that is doing is pushing the broken contacts closer again, thus temporarily 'fixing' the issue until vibrations for driving separate them again. You can test the integrity of the connection by using a multi-meter on continuity setting, that is how you can verify if the solder joints have a problem or not.

      I've not heard of the audio display being coded to the vehicle. The stereo unit yes, and no doubt the ECU. eBay swap out should work, but I imagine you would be purchase a part from a written off car, so you won't necessarily know if the replacement part works, or it may have the same aged solder issue. Good luck! You could always get someone else to do the soldering, a decent PC repair shop should be able to fix your soldering effort pretty easily.

      Interesting question. I've never tried it, so can't say for sure. I would suspect that physically it would, as it would seem ridiculous if Honda wired them differently between the type R and the standard model. I believe stereo systems are coded to the individual vehicle and need unlocking if changed, I don't know if the same would apply to the clock. Worth doing some more research, or just try it out and see.

      Hi, if the solder connect the pin you are soldering with the one next to it, the reflow and remove the solder. You can get something called 'solder wick', which is a copper mesh that flowing solder will get absorbed into. Or you can get this plastic button vacuum thing that sucks up extra solder. Whatever way, you do not want to reinstall the unit if you have bridged two pins that are not supposed to be connected. If unit won't work properly as you've changed the circuitry by bridging the pins. Best case, it just acts weird or blows a fuse, worst case something gets damaged. Either way, sort it out before reinstalling.

    • @takeitapartguy4670
      @takeitapartguy4670  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, thanks. You can get those tools from all sorts of places, I probably got mine off of Amazon. Search for 'car spudgers' or 'car trim removal tools'. Just searching now I can see them on Amazon, Euro Car Parts, even Halfords, so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding something near you. Breaking the clips isn't too big of a deal, as you can break a few and not really notice, just be really careful not to crack the screens! Patience and controlled pressure is the key, very awkward to remove all the parts, especially when you can't see where all the clip points are.

    Tried this today with my brother. First i used the multimeter to test the connections and some really hadn't continuity. He reheated the solder on the pins and some in the small mounts also. Tested every pin with the multimeter again, every one of those connections had continuity. Still isnt working, only shows vertical lines 😓

    • @takeitapartguy4670
      @takeitapartguy4670  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi, first thing I would check is that the connections that were reheated haven't accidently bridged with the connection next to it. Are the vertical lines where they should be showing, and no horizontal lines at all, or are all of the verticals showing regardless of what you expect to be displayed? Just trying to think what else might be causing the problem on your display.

      Hi, thanks for clarifying. If the vertical lines are all there, but there are no horizontal lines at all, then logically that suggests the connection/mechanism for signaling and powering the vertical is working/connected correctly, but the the same process that does the horizontal lines, is not. If that is true then the horizontal and vertical must be controlled separately. I've no idea what the different connection pins are responsible for, but I would guess that there is one master pin for the horizontal lines, and your unit has a fault on that circuit. Really need a schematic for the board, that would make it clearer how it all works. I'm just a tinkerer, not an electrical engineer, so figuring it out without a schematic is beyond me...

    • @takeitapartguy4670
      @takeitapartguy4670  ปีที่แล้ว

      Always worth checking the fuse. If both units are exhibiting the same behavior, then as you are thinking, the problem is likely outside of the unit. Other than the fuse I would check the pins that the unit connects to, but on the car side. Check those for voltage with a multimeter. Car electricals run on 12v, so I would expect to see 12v on at least one of the pins once you identify that and the ground pin. If you see anything other than 12v, or cant find any voltage, then that would be a clue.

    Hey mate, thanks for the great explanations. I have re-heated and re-flowed the pins solder (no additional solder). It solved the problems but after 2 weeks, the problem started again. What do you recommend ? Should I make solder addition to all pins or re-heating them again with flux ? and how I can understand it needs solder ? Since the pins are so small and close to each other, I am a bit concernful about the damage to solder region and short-cuts btw the pins. Thanks for helping

    • @takeitapartguy4670
      @takeitapartguy4670  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Gencay, how annoying that you fixed it but then it failed again. I would think that you don't have enough solder on whichever pin(s) is the problem or that when you reflowed them it wasn't hot enough (cold solder joint) and as such the connection was too weak and broke again with vibrations from driving...
      If it were me I would test all of the connections with a multimeter and try and find the specific one (or ones) which are the problem then add more solder to them. Use the continuity mode on the multimeter and look for whichever pins have erratic continuity.
      If you add too much solder and short the pins then you'll need to melt the excess solder and remove it with a solder sucker or some solder wick. Using too much heat and damaging the pads is a much trickier thing to fix, so pretty much game over if that happens unless you have some serious soldering skills. Best to avoid getting things too hot, but you need enough heat so that you get a good connection. I'd go with a very hot iron but for a short period of time, rather than a medium hot iron for a long period.
      At least you know how to take everything apart this time, so shouldn't be as bad as the first time you fixed it!

      How much would it cost to have a mechanic do it? The reason I did it myself is that most mechanics won't do this type of repair work. The Honda dealership will just want to replace the entire display. When I looked up the part no, it was £600+ just for the display, if I remember correctly. If you can find a mechanic that will do it, it entirely depends on their hourly rate. As it is a fiddly job, I'd say 2 hours.

    • @takeitapartguy4670

      Given that the intermittent display issue is the result of a bad connection, then no display at all is likely a completely broken connection, i.e. it isn't getting any power at all. Either that or you've somehow fried a chip on the PCB, which is unlikely unless there was lots of static electricity about. Check the continuity on all of the solder joints again, if you find one that doesn't have continuity then that is the culprit.

    Hey, thanks for the guide, it worked and now all the display sections work - no fading. But... Did you have any problems with the radio and AC control backlights?! I wouldn't think the middle display would affect those but after plugging it back in I noticed those had stopped working. I dont know for sure when they stopped (if they were not working before I did all that) but I definitely know they were working a few days ago and the timing makes me think it was reinstalling the display that somehow caused that. Any thoughts?

    • @takeitapartguy4670
      @takeitapartguy4670  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there, I didn't have any issues with the backlights on the radio or AC buttons. I don't think that issue would be directly related, i.e. I'd assume the power to them isn't going to go via the display. Doing some quick searches people are talking about a bulb (looks more like LEDs to me than a filament bulb, but I don't know) burning out, or a fuse. I suppose it is possible that something could have blown whilst you took the display panel out. Might be worth checking fuses, but I'd expect that more items wouldn't be working if it was a fuse issue. This guy has a video about removing the whole radio, looks like he had a hard time, but it would at least show you how to get to it then you could look for any blown bulbs th-cam.com/video/991pwUfsU3g/w-d-xo.html let us know how you get on if you fix it as no doubt other people have the same issue, much like with the audio display.
