Fix your Volvo S60 V70 XC70 S80 XC90 DIM Instrument Cluster 

Many thanks all the details for the repairing of the DIM. Unfortunately I could not find and see your and other similar videos with this method of repairing, and I decided and did the repair by redoing the soldering of each pin of the IC by using a controlled temperature soldering station with an extremely small soldering point, the same I used for several electronic repais and finally I could repai the instrument that become to work again properly and perfectly. Again compliment for your documented method of repair.Ciao, Alfredo.

Thank you for the video. This going to be useful when my DIM is about to crash. The first thing is my clock that goes crazy.

I don't know how many times I've had this board out of the car. I can get it out in pit-stop time now (2-3 minutes). I have re-flowed all the IC's, fet's, wombles and gubbins modules. Although I have fixed various anomalies, I have yet to reliably repair the intermittent high-beam indicator. **cking thing is still on the fritz, but I'm not giving up! I've actually improved the whole thing somewhat. No, it's not the frickin bulb, lamp, globe, luminaire, etc. Sometimes when I get in the car, the display says, "Drivers mouth open". I check the mirror and I'll be damned if it isn't right! I think I may have reflowed some of my soul into this thing. I wonder if this is how Christine got started and why some socks fall down. When I finally find the open circuit, I shall post a video of epic proportion. My plan is to get her up to top speed. I reckon about hmm.... without buoyancy... ~90 m/s as terminal velocity is going to my best bet. It doesn't require any expensive mods and is usually just a short drive away for most people. If you don't have a handy canyon, then powerful explosives (be sure to ask mum and dad first) might be a good option. It wont go very far but, it will get there quickly.

My 2004 S60 doesn't look like this when I opened it up... The only way to get the board out requires all the gauges to be removed also. Any suggestions?

If one of the digital displays has some pixel problem,can it be replaced. Is it screwed in?

Thank you for video, on my Volvo the clock doesn't work. can i just replace it with used one from the junk yard? is it easy to do?

I just did mine and it worked. But I just plugged it in and it works but now slowly shuts off. Is there something I’m missing?

why was one processer's blue material not removed? How did we know the problems existed with 3 others and didn't include that one?

I had something odd occur. I tried this and got partial success so I had it in and out of the car several times. One of the times I put it back to try something I put it back without the dials attached. When I finally put it all back together and reinstalled the dials they no longer functioned. Is it possible that using it without the dials pushed on ruined those controllers?

Great video , thank you. I need to do this on my Volvo S80 2002, as the dashboard keeps going on and off, when its cold outside its off most of the time. Need to buy those penns and do the job.

Excellent

Great information! I must be “right 👂 dominant “ though

Thank you brother

Good morning Random Acts of Kindness, Thank you very very much for posting this video. I have got the same car ( same year as well) and the same problem. I do not have any experience with what I see you are doing in the video. I am from the SF Bay area as well and I was wondering if you could help me repairing my cluster panel. Thanks for letting me know and have a great day

What fault code did you get ? did you get "CEM-DE51" ? Communication With The Driver Information Module (DIM). Signal Missing

Резисторные сборки RA тоже пропаять нужно

I had my second one just go out....i have a guy who reflowed all the items i have been shown for a " dead dim" 02 v70 xc....my highbeam check engine and seatbelt lights all work.my odometer and clock are visible w a flashlight.....im looking for a schematic if anyone knows how to get one!! Aghhhh.

Thank You..saved my bacon..and money lol

My new 2004 S60 D5 has the same issue with the info-screen. It turns green and has black squares on it. I've seen it work properly three times during the three weeks i've owned the car. I've heard of this problem and i want to repair it so i can use the Webasto

You probably won't see this in time, but how do you spell the name of the company that sold the bulbs? I'm in the Bay as well

What type of bulbs for the backlight 05 xc90

What you suggest for odometer light not working or clock ?

Thanks going to try this soon on my volvo. Local shop quoted 600.00 for new board replacement and says mine won't be repairable. Hope to prove him wrong..

I was looking for a demonstration, not a "this is what I did video", still some useful background info but dude! Film yourself actually dong things please

Could I just replace the entire unit with a used one from pick & pull??

I know this is an old video, I wanted to say beauty supply stores carry 99% alcohol more often than not.

You'd think those PCBs would have been redaly available from the parts departments of the dealers. For an honest price.

Hi! if you don’t want to do this method why can’t you just go buy a cluster at a car junk for example ? would that not work? and then just delete all codes?

Use an electric soldering iron , surely .

great video except you never actually show how to refloat?

I have the same clus6, 2002 V70, when it minus 30 Celius works 20% of the time, when it plus 35 it seems to work better. I'll give it a whirl. Fu@@ing VDO gauges

lol

Thanks for the info....but man you blabber a lot.
