Volvo S60 2003 - Weird situation, not familiar with volvo

[neospeedo]

2003 Volvo S60 vehicle was dropped off to me. The lcd for mileage and clock and some warning lights come on and turn off with key on after 2-3 seconds. Meanwhile no gauges, and the mileage appearing for 2-3 seconds apparently not what the customer claims is right. Im thinking the unit has been changed, but customer tells me its the original unit. The unit has no used markings on it. Customer says window won't work and vehicle seems to work in third gear. This unit has no bulbs just leds and chrome rings around the gauges. Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Neo

You'll need to reflow the solder on the Motorola processor.Had a few of these,and worked 100% every time.

We went over the motorola chip DG128. You think there's more than that?

I've never had anything but the solder on the processor give trouble,even though it all looks perfect,it's not.

as johnner said mate
its common on the volvos
peel as much of the blue glue off as poss

what i did after this is flow solder the complete chip so all the legs were soldered together down each side
use lots of flux now and flow as much of the solder off as poss then use solder braid to clean rest up
good magnifying glass to check all legs are good and no shorts

this has fixed many a dash for me mate

By the way, I stuck in a used cluster and it acts the same exact way as supposively the original cluster. Im sending you the pics Meat-Head, I don't see a blue capacitor.

Thanks,

get hot air and scraps the smurf shit off the chips, retains heat
