Hi does any body know how to remove the Folding type monitor on a 2004 td6 it has gone blank! and i think the CCFL (back light )has gone .According to the web it is a E38 E39 5 7 SERIES NAVIGATION GPS SCREEN MONITOR.

i would check at the back first, look for water damage around the nav unit, check the blue and white plugs on the tv tuner, can cause the same prob,,, V8 facelift Range Rover Autobiography 22" wheels.
1976 Harley Davidson Iron Head Sportster

And if that brings no joy then check youtube for a video by PowerfulUK on removing the head unit

Hi Mark,

Hi All, thanks for this valuable info , but after cleaning the connectors which looked fine , i still cant see any video on the monitor only what appears to be the back light turning on when viewed under a coat:).Getting back to the monitor there appears to be a small LED light in the middle of the unit that does not light up (we are not sure of its purpose and wondered if it was connected with the fault)?

thanks J

Sorry mate, a bit beyond my knowledge now..........you could have a seach on the BMW forums to see if anyones had a similar issue, as its all the same kit.

You would have thought there may be a test you can do from the front, by pressing certain buttons, like a test page, but I don't know of such a feature.

There is a video on youtube / powerful uk about how to get the unit out, if thats any use to you in the future........

Jules,
It's defo the box in the boot. Mine has done this as few times. Take the box out of it's holder, give it a tap or two and plug it back in. Works for me.

Hi jules 64

The small led is not an led its a photocell that changes the screen brightness automatically RANGE ROVER 04 TD6

The photocell was "supposed to" adjust brightness but was disabled at some point because it just didn't work!

Mine doesn't (2002 model) work, tried finger over it or shining torch in the dark, no change..... .
