Source for overhead display repair

I just had my overhead display repaired by Toyota Tacoma / Ford Compass and Temperature Gauge Display Repair. Overhead display repair by Siliconmethod.com: Homepage . They repaired the display quickly and now it works great. Their regular price for the repair is $49, but I bought the service on ebay for $39. Return shipping back to you is free.

I know a lot of you fix your own displays, but for me, not having to source the resistors and try to solder them without messing anything else up was worth a lot more than $39.

I have no relationship with this vendor, I just thought this info may be helpful to fellow X owners, since all the overhead dispays eventually break.

Does anyone know of a short that may be a common prob for the locks/overhead display? It went out after a few years, right after the drivers rear long window quit. Had problems with locks. They went out one at a time over a couple weeks. Took it in and they replaces all actuators for a pricey fee. Asked about the dispaly and it was very expensive so I skipped it. When I got it back the long window worked for a day or two and so did the display. Any Ideas?

I know this is an old thread, but I am wondering if I'm unique in the fact that my compass broke again within a couple of years of getting the it fixed by these guys? Has anyone used them lately?

Thanks, Cory
