I Sourced out of Hong Kong. I was unable to source it within the USA. Took me an hour to replace it, start to finish. But it could be done faster. I was taking pictures with my cell phone of the steps. Minimal tools necessary, but no ham fisted mechanics need apply. These components are delicate, and cleanliness is a must Total cost was $138.00 for the screen and $26.00 for DHL delivery. Payment was done by Paypal. It took one week from payment to delivery to my hands.

If there is any interest, I could put together a DIY. To date, this seems to be the least expensive way to update the monitor screen. I am amazed at what I was putting up with.

Dont be coy....you know there's interest!

Hi,

This sounds interesting!
I have a Bmw E39 03 model with the 16:9 screen.

But what is the reason to change the screen?
Or whats the problem that make you want to change it?

Just wondering to see if my screen should be replaced

I have problem with the dimming light on the screen, it gets dark to early.
In the middle of the day, it looks very good, with strong light, but when it starts to get a littlebit dark, not much, then the screen goes very dark, and i have problem reading on it until it gets dark outside, then its okay again.

Is this something a new screen could fix?


Best Regards
Fredrik

Is the correct name on the screen is trm122? (for the e39)?

This is a very helpful thread, but does anyone have access to an exploded schematic of the unit for screen replacement purposes. It is always a good idea to have some sort of assembly plan/proceedure before pulling things apart. Also can anyone let me know if the screen backlight can be afected by power fluctuation or low battery?

Cheers
