Hi All, I repaired my LCD Dash Screen Somewhat. It was so faded you could barely see anything. I took the gauge housing apart and got out the LCD Panel. Then I removed the rear Polarizing Filter Film. Cleaned the back side of the LCD Screen and put on a new piece of Polarizing Filter Film with Adhesive backing. Unfortunately I had to also replace the Polarizing film on the front of the LCD panel as well. I say unfortunately because Kawasaki silk screened the fuel gauge onto the Polarizing film. So the new piece of film does not have that. I am attaching a photo of the LCD Panel working after changing out the Polarizing Film. The problem I have is the colors are reversed. The read out is now kind of Orange and the background is black. That is the opposite of the way it was from Kawasaki. I am sure that has to do with the type of Polarizing Film I used. Has anyone here repaired their gauges and can give me some tips? Thanks for any help.

Okay, after reading lots about Polarizing Film, apparently rotating the film will change the displays brightness. Also I should be using Transflective Polarizing Film. So if I read things correctly I need to turn on the display without the front Polarizing Film on it and then rotate the film until I get the desired brightness I want. Then mark the film and cut it. I still don't know if that will fix the reverse image color... Once I get this figured out I will do a tutorial on how to repair your LCD Dash Gauges.. It was not hard to do, providing I can figure out the Brightness and color change...lol

Okay, After some trial and error and lots of reading I got it repaired. I shot a Youtube video of how I did it.. Although I am not fond of the video.. Since this was the first time I had done this the video is chopped together showing the learning process. I have another LCD Gauge I will do and will shoot a much better video.
