Rising Sun Syndrome
Last weekend we had the Box in a P-car show which was on a golf course in the hot sun for a few hours. Guess what my wife pointed out when she decided to turn the air on? Yup, the same orange disk sneaking in on stage left. Thanks to you guys, I can be a hero by saving some bux, as well as appearing to be a mechanical genius. All I have to R&R the kit I just bought on E-Bay

I've never seen that eBay kit before but that looks like the way to go. I know a replacement unit is ~$400 so the worst that can happen is you bust the one you're fixing and you have to buy a new one anyway. Seems like good odds to save $350.

I don't need the kit (knock on wood), but I bought one a few weeks ago to have on the shelf. My luck, when mine goes, they won't be offering it anymore, or as anything, the price will, of course, be higher.
It comes with a lifetime warranty, so I figured why not?

Rising Sun Update
Piece of cake. The Module Master LCD rebuild kit Arrived in a coupl'a days, and, after careful study, went in in less than an hour. Works like a charm, except I miss the MANUELL logo. My father was Spanish, you see. Also a bit disconcerting is the index in reference to the "required tools" photo in the directions. It referred to the needle nosed pliers as a Utility or exacto knife. I thought I'd had a stroke or something. Didn't need the knife anyway-everything fit like a metaphor. Don't know if my wife thinks I'm a genius or not yet, but she IS impressed. Now thinks its OK to spend time w/ the 986 folk. Thanks for the great tip.

Very nice result. A+++++

Better late than never (although never is better)
I know this is a very old thread, but I have just experienced this LCD issue on the climate control system of my 2000 Boxster. In looking through the thread, the links to the eBay site to purchase the kits are no longer valid. A search of eBay didn't find anything but complete climate control units. Any thoughts on where one might get the repair kit?
