The middle line of the LEDs that make up the display of my trip computer has disappeared. Any body else had the same problem? What was dealer's solution?
Thanks for help.

I may just be a loose connector (with the signals for that row of LEDs). Probably best to have the dealer check the wiring harness since its probably not easy to get to. Unfortunately, it might also be an decoder chip in the display itself. Good luck.

"Might" be a connector, but I wouldn't count on it. Go to your dealer ASAP, and have them order a replacement part... the reason I say this is because they're unlikely to have the part in stock, and so the earlier you have them order it the earlier your MINI will be running @ 100% again.

This will definitely be covered by warranty.

(ps: a MINI with only part of it's LED is better than a 6mo wait in line! )
