Missing some dots in my dashboad LED display.
Just noticed this morning that a line of LED's wasn't working in my dashboard display. A horizontal line right through the outside temperature reading wasn't lighting up. Then, all of a sudden, when I got into my car after lunch, it was working fine again. Is this a sign that it is about to die? Or is it a common glitch?

Re: Missing some dots in my dashboad LED display.
one of the ICs driving the lines seems a weakling. I have the same issue, it comes and goes, but it started occurring only after cell phone post amp and radar detector were installed. I will do a check and find out whether it is fixable - although soldering Small Outline gull winged SMT chips is not that much fun.
