Got a Volvo excavator that has a very hard to see display. Anyone ever see something like this? Machine is a 2016 year EC700C. Is there any way to improve this vs just replacing the entire thing, which im guessing is quite expensive? Thanks!
It looks more like a problem with the plastic cover than the actual display. Have you tried plastic polish on it? I think motorcycle dealers have polishing paste for plastic.
Yes I believe it is just the plastic cover/lens. It definitely feels rough. Previous owner must have wiped dust off it a bunch and scratched it up bad...
Have the exact same problem with a 700 down here. It seems the lenses cleaners cause the screen cover to degrade. Haven't seen or heard of a solution yet.
Something for polishing motorcycle windshields is worth a try.
You could try one of those headlight restoration products to see if that can clear it up. The machine is older and no warranty so what have you to lose to try it? You can also take the IECU apart and clean the inside and outside of the lens. That way you also eliminate getting the PCB wet.
I have done this using Meguiar's headlight restoration. Works perfect. Once polished, tape it off, and lightly spray with provided clear coat.
