Does anyone know if the Monitor screen's for the E38 7 series are E38 specific, Or are they interchange able with the E39 or maybe other models.
Im after the larger monitor as I have sound but no vision.

Not sure if the 4:3 ones are but i think the 16:9 monitor is. If you go for a monitor I recommend you to go for a 16:9 which is far better then the 4:3. Also you will need a loom for the monitor and I'm sure you also need a video module.

What are you going to use the monitor for?

It already has as monitor (larger one) I only get audio and no sound. Thinking of getting one on the ebay. It could be something simple I suppose but how much to find the problem and replace. Thinking would be easier to replace the whole unit?

I wouldnt just assume its the monitor itself. If you have sound but no visual, its an expensive guess to go for a monitor unit dtraight away.

I would get the video module checked. If this isnt working then that'll be your problem. You're only in Beckenham which isnt too far from me. I could take a look if you want?
