Multi Information Display Question

Hay guys/gals, I have a row of pixels that are out on my MID and was going to buy one on ebay and replace it, do I have anything to worry about by doing that? (check engine light, etc, etc?) Is there any 'computer' controls in the MID that I need to be worried about (I think there all in the tape || cd player) any information is appreciated.

Thanks

Assume your car's out of warranty...known issue so perhaps a sympathetic dealer (if there is such a thing) may help, otherwise I'd try these first : http://www.vdorepair.com/ or read this thread http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83256

Can't take credit for any of the above links...hope they help

Straight swap...you shouldn't have any problems. I wouldn't bother sending it out for repair as you can find used ones on ebay for less. You won't get any warning lights. Just make sure it the same buttons (DSP, etc...) as your current one.
