Pic of LED Console '99 F350

[99F350Michael]

My LED overhead is not working, so after reading various threads, I pulled the console.

No chips fell out, but one was a little bit loose. But after looking at the LED screen, there was a dark spot on it (see picture).

My question is: Is there a good change that the LED is shot and not worth going and buying a solder gun? I have read where some people tried fixing only to find out the LED screen didn't work.

Thanks for the help/input.

The burn mark is normal. Don't buy a solder gun, you need a iron. A gun is for larger work.

It's an LCD screen.
And the resistors are what come loose. Just resolder them on, and you'll be good.

Thank you for confirming this. Made the note of LCD screen...lol dont know what I was thinking writing LED!

I will get a small iron today. Thanks again!

There is a write up somewhere about what resistors they are if you lost them. But if not, you should be good.

I was able to solder one of the chips that was not fully attached and cure a few others just in case...when I plugged it in it worked.

Thanks for the help.

Any way to reset the mpg or do I need to fill up to have it reset?

Found it on here (press both buttons t reset mpg)

Not like the MPG reading is that correct.
