My OBC is only lighting up the buttons and no display,
I can see the display very faintly so i know its still working, does anyone know how to fix this ?
I had a go tonight but can only find one bulb on the back which lights up the buttons.
Thanks :D

You need to replace the bulb pack which you can get from the dealers, but it's expensive. About twenty quid?

Or you can solder some new bulbs in, can get them from places like maplins apparently. Much cheaper, but more difficult.

OBC will have to come out, but it's not that difficult, as you know. :wan:

Anyone confirm this?

Bulbs are also availiable from www.rswww.com , item 360-7890 but they only sell them in packs of 10!! Did mine a while back and sold 4 to jph78 so I've still got 4 left. 45p (including the VAT) each plus posting if your interested?

The only real tricky part is getting the OBC out to gain access to the light board, once out though it is literally a 2 min job :thumb:
