I noticed something on my drive home tonight... There appear to be vertical lines that bleed from the letters on the radio display screen. They run the entire height of the screen. They are fainter than the text itself, but they are definitely there and I can see them scroll across the screen when the text scrolls. Has anyone else noticed this? Is something wrong with the display?

Here's a photo...

98F...Ugh...

-5C here.

I've never seen that issue, but I had the radio display go wonky with crazy characters all over once on me during hot months. heat thing?

 

Try turning the brightness down, that might fix it

 

I tried that but it didn't help. Also, I hadn't adjusted the brightness since new and it just started doing this. The text looks a bit blown out in the photo, but that is just because I shot it close up in the dark with my phone.

 

It was really only about 75ş F here. She had been parked in the garage for about an hour so hadn't had a chance to cool off or get any air moving over the temp sensor.

 

Is that the Linn audi or alpine or B&O? I've not noticed these lines on my display in my DB9 but I haven't looked super closely either .... Maybe have a tech take a look at it?

 

I have the same lines on mine (B&O). I adjusted the brightness down 1/3 and they became much fainter.

 

It's the Alpine, although I believe the B&O should use the same display. It would be pretty obvious at night if yours did the same thing.

If I adjust the brightness down then I can't see the rest of my instruments well enough for my liking. Seeing as it's a new car still under warranty there's no reason not to have them take a look at it. In fact, I'm taking her in tomorrow. I'll update with results.

 

LCD panel needs replacing

 

That's what I thought too. I took it in today and they're submitting it for warranty replacement. Hopefully it'll go through without issue.

Will do.

 

Just a quick update... Dropped off the car and got it back with a new radio display. AM replaced it under warranty without putting up a fuss. Just had to wait a while for approval and the part to come in. The actual install was done in a day.
