Honda CBR 1100 blackbird instrument gauge panel repair. i tried looking everywhere for such that thoroughly highlighted the repair in forums, articles but there's none. Hopefully this page will get you with it if u want to DIY the repair.
The problem are both LCD got sunburn that wrinkled the top and bottom film. This is a usual problem that any one with a LCD type speedometer panel on their motorcycle. The ling exposure to direct sunlight will destroy the film either the top or the bottom one will create a no display scenario on your speedometer.
Opening the case to access the internals does not need any special skills. Just open the unit to disassemble it.
After opening, you can now access the too film of both LCD. On some ocassion, the top film is the last to be damaged by the sun. More often is the bottom that contains silver coated polarizer that will look like this if sunburned. The top wrinkled film was already removed.
And to access the bottom side, desoldering the LCD pins on the mainboard is needed and soldering know how is a must.
Remove the solder using desoldering tool, solder wick will not do the trick. Make sure the LCD pins are all loose before removing it on the mainboard that may cause damage to the entire lcd connection within the glass. It is fragile and can break and if do so it is GAME OVER!!
Now scrape the old film using blade. Process is long and care must be put into perspective slowly but surely will do the trick.
Clean the glass with 99% iso alcohol to remove excess adhesive left and the glass should be clean before putting the new film.
Film generally has what you called degrees. Namely 0, 45, 90 degrees there is no exact cutout so cut one from what you have and orient it to display the alphanumeric normally.
The LCD should look clean and not as of it was black. INVERTED display sucks at daytime thus orient the film right before adhering it on the lcd glass front and back.
Trick, if by chance no idea on what orientation of the film, put the backside film first, then resolder it on the board. Power on the unit and placed the front film on top of the lcd then as you are rotating the film 0 to 180 degree find the clear and cleanest display. Thant way you know now the correct orientation. Cut the desired dimension then placed and adhere the top film..Good to go!
Backlight can be change too by the way. It uses led.
If u need the PINOUT of the connector side of this kind of instrument gauge of the Honda Blackbird. Say I do in the comments section.
