h&s screen issue

Str8Ugly · May 31, 2016

i have a mini maxx, and the screen will go black on me, i can run my finger across it and it will come back on some but its real dim. if i keep messing with it it will eventually come back on bright like its supposed to be. any way to fix this issue?

It isn't just the daytime running lights dimming it on and off is it? My truck does this in the middle of the freakin day if there is a cloud covering the sun. Drives me crazy and I kill the auto on lights so the H&S doesn't dim and make it really hard to see on a bright sunny day...

no its not the daylight running light but i did notice that the other day as well. who could fix the screen in it if its cracked? which when i run my finger across the screen it will snap in place and the screen will come on

I was told to pound sand when mine got dark spots on it after only 2 years. Bought it from xdp....they would have swapped it out for me but they had none and couldn't get any at the time. Called h&s and was told to be gentle with it lol

I was told that wouldn't work either by h&s. Best bet is to try to find a used unit in good condition or get tuning from the other guys

Bully Dog GT screen will absolutely replace the mini Maxx screen. Doesn't work on an XRT PRO though oddly enough

no they dont sell the screen by itself. so you will have to buy a new or used unit and put it in

correct. old gas GT's can be had for under $100 on ebay fairly regularly

just grabbed one off ebay for 134 shipped is it just pull of and replace or do i have to solder the new screen back on?

It's a pain. But not horrible. Worst part is cracking them open. Start on the bully in case you mess up LOL

I just use a knife to work around and split them open.

Once you get in there, the screen connector is just a simple little tab connector.

5-10 strategically placed drops odds super glue to button it back up.

Don't get bummed when it doesn't look virgin anymore LOL. I've done maybe ten of them, and you can always easily tell that it's been repaired

as long as i can see the screen it wont matter to me, is the case just glued together from factory? ill hit it with a heat gun some to help it come apart
