Glow but no digits.
The panel lights up; nothing is written on it. The backlight outlives the glass — proof the fault is the LCD itself, not power or wiring.
Diagnostic clueThe Watford visit
New glass.
Nothing else changes.
From Harrow to Watford is a short hop for us, and Hertfordshire as a whole is core territory — WD17, WD18 and WD24 all covered at your home or workplace. What brings us over most often isn't keys or coding: it's the 500's dash screen quietly giving up.
We don't exchange units and we never post anything. Your cluster stays with your car: we open it, remove the dead glass, fit the replacement screen and rebuild it on the spot. Because the board — and the odometer memory on it — never changes, the car treats the cluster as what it is: the same one it left the factory with.
The alternative is a whole-cluster replacement: parts on order, a booking queue, an alignment step, and often weeks off the road in bits or limping. For a failed screen that's overkill. One mobile visit to Watford, one fixed price agreed up front, one hour of your day.
One visit can clear a list: cluster faults on any make, key programming, diagnostics — tell us everything the car's doing when you book your Watford slot.
