Is there lcd screen for E70?

[chas3]

Yes, both E53 and E70 can be sourced. However, it usually comes at the same price as a scrapyard used display unit, considering you don't have to pull the LCD panel for the transplant.
Just curious, did it fail on your E70? iDrive LCDs seemed tougher.

Yes, it went black after 3 years and I have no warranty. I found the manufacturer, its OPTREX but I cant' find exact model for bmw, it's 8.8'' CID.

I have to replace my screen, and I'm debating whether to buy the whole Nav unit for $420-$650, or get the screen only from Euro-tech for $200. How hard was the screen only replacement? I'm handy, but I dont want to get involved in soldering, etc. I'm a remove and replace kinda guy. One guy says it was easy, one guy says it was a pain in the arse. Anybody have a link to the steps, or can you replacers give me some details?

Thanks

I would definitely get the screen, instead of the whole unit. It is easy to replace, no soldering needed, especially if you are the curious handy type of person.
However, if we are talking about a dead LCD (went blank out of a sudden, not dead pixels or anything), I would rather check the LCD inverter. It is cheap to repair and it is usually the culprit for LCDs going blank. The matrix itself rarely goes completely blank.

I agree with chas. If you are a little bit handy and careful and methodical about taking this apart, just get the screen...it is or should be plug and chug. If you are a not so comfortable, I actually have a full complete unit with brand new screen I'm trying to sell. PM me.

you die and still keep learning from this forum!!!
i had small dots dead in my screen and was about to buy a new unit or replace it with the nav-in-motion once its released although i have full option in my current navi, but with this screen solution i would save at leave 400-500$.
did anyone take pics for how to install it?

My replacement is on its way, ordered about a week ago. I'll take some pics with it all apart and post them. I thought my screen was ok, but now it has lost its whole backlight. Bugger
