Dying Smeg+ LCD

Post by MattSVK »

Hello there

Peugeot 508 2017 GT version... Car was parked outside for two weeks. Temperature below 0 to -6

Middle touch screen was warm to touch when after driving 30 minutes I have notice the smudge in the middle.

Everything is visible only you can see there is some smudge when sun shining.

After car is off see the picture?

What is the display like when the screen is active - for example displaying data? Are there any missing patches with the screen active?

When the screen is active then there is no problem apart from the smudge. Touchpad is also working fine...

We had something that looked similar on our 308 a few years ago. It was pre-Covid so probably 2019. I thought it was condensation and just left it. It cleared up after a while and hasn't come back since.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Hello again...

All right after work 2 weeks the car was parked outside. From the cold start I though that it is fixed but it did appeared again after 30 minutes driving. But I had like couple of hours drive in front of me so after 60 minutes from cold start it was getting smaller. Probably 2 hours it was gone.

Since then it did not came back. Strange...
