Toyota Prado Inclinometer

[Praba8848]

I own Toyota Prado Yr 98'. My inclinometer was not visible at day time as the internal lamination is almost shrink and it is fucntioniong well in night with lights. I decided to open up the device and wanted to check if I can replace the lamination piece. As I open the units and the front cover, the lamination was alomost drop into pieces and its like Tinted material which has shrink due to heat so I clean it away as it was on the surface of a mirror. I attached another layer of tinted film and fix it back. I turn it on the unit and only the light appeared but nothing else. I beleive the Tinted film which orginally attached has go to do something with display. I need help and advise me hot to solve my problem. Thanks

I have attached photos and diagram for your reference. Thanks

Than suggest you look for some old LCD parts to use.

Thanks for all the Tips and I have find out that when I use my polarize Ray-Ban and look at it and I discover the images. I got a scrap LCD monitor and remove the piece and attach it. Now it works fine..Thanks

HI Praba, congratulations on solving the problem. I have exact same problem in a 98 Prado I just purchased. I have got the polarizing film from an old laptop... but how to remove the console to replace the film? I opened the top and removed what look like mounting screws but the console still firmly attached to the top of the dash!
