Media Screen Flickering - replacement/repairs (W213) E220d 2019

[Mercedezzz]

Hello all,

I have a question...

My vehicle: Mercedes-Benz E220d , 2019, (W213)

It seems my media screen have failure, in my opinion it need to be replaced.

Symptoms: Flickering, green cricles one at the bottom and one at the top of the media screen, it flicker so much and then goes completely black but..
the good news: dashboard is working perfectly fine, audio is working ,reverse camera working some times but it flicker also reverse camera working while the car is cold before a trip for 2 mins, aslo if the car is cold the screen is perfectly fine for about one minute.

My plan:

Im planning to replace the media screen, as I belive this is where the issue is. [(P.S the dealer asking price is way too high for £300-600 part)]

Question:

1. Is it better to replace the whole unit or just the media screen? as I know there is option to change just the media screen.
2. Is there any car mechanic that can be trusted around London area or even South East ?
3. Any idea if this screens are repairable at all or once the symptoms occour it goes in the bin?

Anyone who deals with this problem I want to share my insights. I can stop flickering by setting a/c to lowest temperature and making to blow air straight into cabin, closing all air vents and setting up to blow on 5 or 6 gear. After sometime it stops, althought my one flickering more intensively or even going completely black. Have anyone opened these dashboards/screens is there any ventilation system for multimedia/infotainment and instrument cluster? I found cooling fan for multimedia on ebay for w212 but not for w213.

Welcome.

On the W204, COMAND units are cooled by an external fan, while Audio20 units do not gave external cooling. It might be the same on the W212/W213.

The flickering screen will typically be either a faulty screen, or a faulty cable between the screen and the infotainment unit.

Another possibility is electromagnetic interference, and so it's worth testing it without any other electronic devices present in the car - no mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, laptops, OBDII dongles, etc. .

On 3 point, i found in other forum someone is able to change motherboard of the screen, that's where the problem lies.
