Hi All,

I have a trip computer sitting here but the rubber blocks that should be attached to the lcd are not anymore so it wont display anything.

Is there a way to re attach them? or do I have to get a new one?

cheers
Bucko

happened to mine aswell, stick the rubber legs back in the slots and the lcd screen around the RIGHT way (there are 3 coloured stripes on one side indicating which way its supposed to go) then put the black bracket surround thingy that clips on the top back on and screw it down TIGHT.
