What is this indicator light?

[algtrader]

I just noticed this strange indicator under the digital clock display of my 2000 Porsche 911.

See that starbust to the right of the time? Anyone know what this is?

Is it bad? How do I fix it?

Thanks Al
2000 911

Hi Al:

We are air cooled here and for most (if not all of us), this gauge is not in our instrument cluster. Try posting in the 996/997 Forum and you may get a better response.

It almost looks like a break in the screen. (Similar to if you drop a cell phone, but don't break the outer-most layer of the screen).

Hi Al,

That looks like and impact wound. Got kids with toys? Dogs who like to stand up on the dash?

I have big screen tv's and kids with airsoft bb guns.

No choice but to live with or replace.

Regarding replacement - don't know specifics.

If you look at it upside down it looks a little like .....the Virgin Mary!

LCD artifact I would think. Had the same car at one time.

It's 8:15 a.m. and you have a synapse 'failure to fire' . . .

Display bad. My 2001 had the same thing.

Disp-lay heading south on you, I'd say. However, do check in the relevant forum.

BEST!
