    I have a LCD display as part of my Tach, its the hour meter. Well the
    connection to the device's PCB is made by a Flex cable(I think that's the
    correct terminology) and it has cracked. I called the manufacturer of the
    instrument, Siemans VDO and they said I couldn't get the LCD sub-assembly,
    mind you I could even give them a part number that is embedded on the LCD.
    They gave me a phone number to one of their repair centers. That guy just
    said to buy another instrument, didn't even offer to repair my unit. I know
    this world is built on throw away technology but why spend $$195 if you ony
    need to replace a 50cent part.
    Can anyone give me a clue?
