Frank depto 0 Posted August 16 I have a 1999 foreman S450. The display is partially blacked out. The odometer and trip mileage flashes and has inconsistent lettering. Can it be repaired Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeepwm69 7,744 Posted August 16 @AKATV will be along shortly. I'm pretty sure that black dot can't be fixed, but he might be able to help with the rest of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meters are model specific, so that's what you'd have to look for. This one is in KPH instead of MPH. As you can see, since they are discontinued the remaining stock are quite pricey. @AKATV, are you able to reflash a KPH meter to read MPH? https://www.ebay.com/itm/116270196943?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1Zxg0zoOjRA24JCD6F1veVA40&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=116270196943&targetid=2374270860207&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=1013219&poi=&campaignid=21214301188&mkgroupid=161029916821&rlsatarget=pla-2374270860207&abcId=9407524&merchantid=114832705&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-KbE3a2BiAMVTAitBh3YzjDkEAQYAiABEgIPTPD_BwE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you fix that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AKATV 846 Posted August 19 Hi Boy I am late to the party here- must have missed the first posting-sorry The black spot cannot be repaired it is internal damge common to the 450S If its flashing, you might want to open case and make sure no water is inside Sometimes the flashing and erratic display is caused by a bad LCD, most times I find moisture or bad contact under the LCD contact strip, you might be able to remove and clean it with isopropyl alchohol and see if it improves -AKATV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
