My Breva 1100 dashboard has 'lost' the left half of it's visibility. So left blinker arrow (a bit embarassing), abs (no worry, haven't got it anyway), and oil pressure light (oh boy) are gone.
The problem seems intermittent however, yesterday I noticed the left arrow coming up normally. After stopping for fuel, it went again.
My dealer says a new dashboard, but that is costly and besides: if the lights come back from time to time, couldn't that point in the direction of a loose connector problem of some kind?
This morning I checked the connector to the dashboard itself, and that seemed ok.
Any ideas?
 
More than likely you probably have a bad solder joint on the board inside the dash, maybe a capacitor or resistor or some other chip on the board going bad.
it might be hard to find though.


good luck
 
Frans---You might try finding a ham operater or electronics buff to take a look at the board and components. Sometimes during manufacturing, a cold solder joint can be created. It's not uncommon for the joint to function for some time and then lose it's ability to allow current to flow through it. Many times it can be repaired just by remelting the solder so it flows properly and makes the connection. With such small and delicate components involved, it's best left to someone experienced in such matters. Who ever does the repair will probably be able to find the cold solder joint with a magnifier and volt-ohm meter. You should be able to find someone locally. I used to operate a "ham" station in the past and spoke with many hams from your part of the world. Then I got on a close friends bike after 30 + years away from them and went home and sold everything radio related to buy a new bike! I guess we never get the thrill out of our blood completly. Now i'm really having fun . :laugh: Max
 
By now, after asking several people who 'should' know, it has become pretty clear that some computer component inside the dashboard has broken.
I understand that, providing the bad part CAN be located, repair seems almost impossible or very expensive.
New dashboard = more than 800 euro's :mad:
Anyone with a second hand dashboard on the shelf?
My meter shows 32000 + km
