screen discoloration

[jjh1234]

My VIN 167xxx has this as well. The SC is ordering the parts after taking a quick look at the screen. The discoloring is even evident in "screen cleaning" mode when the whole screen is black there is a lighter border. The SC said this is a well documented problem.

Dropped the car off last night and they completed the MCU swap today. I’ll pick it up tomorrow. Got to drive a nice model X which my wife really liked.

@zelig2 Cool! Please let us know if you notice anything new, like a faster touchscreen with the new MCU or any new dash rattles that appeared after they installed it. Thanks!

I had mine replace about 2 weeks ago. New screen is problem free so far. The technician said it has a newer part number and he had replaced a few others with the same problem as well.

They didn't need to replace the entire MCU, just the screen. New screen seems to look nicer to my eyes, but it could just be placebo after viewing the yellow screen for so long. My wife noticed it too though and said it seemed clearer.

My VIN is 175k so that previously reported VIN range seems spot on.

This happened to my Model X. Received in March. We don't have a service center just rangers or whatever they are called. They are going to replace the entire MCU

 

[ryantank]

@heffneil Did they first try to order just the screen part? Why was the whole MCU replacement needed?

 

[Cherrry]

Same problem. Yellow rim around the center console. Just noticed it suddenly 2days ago. Vin 187. In socal. Ordered in Jan 2017. I just called to make a service appt.

Looks like our Model X is starting to show yellow discoloration, only at the top of the screen. VIN 44xxx and April 2017 build. Appears to be a MS and MX issue.

I have the same problem with my LCD, in a TESLA 75D from 2016. The screen is going to be replaced by a new one

@zelig2 How is the new MCU replacement? Faster? Any new dash rattles going over bumps?

 

[zelig2]

I don't notice it being any faster. Still has some of the sluggishness I've come to expect. The yellowing is gone so I'm happy about that. I missed the uncorking by a day so I had them uncork it this week. I haven't heard any dash rattles but I'll keep my ears open going forward.

My car is starting to exhibit this, I saw it a while back and thought it was just light reflecting off the silver trim. My VIN is 187xxx, 75D, 3/24 delivery. Just had the car in and didn't have it addressed then, will probably have them notate it when I uncork on Tuesday and get things ordered then if they can confirm it.

Update: got my car back from service center in Baltimore area, new screen looks good. Only screen changed not MCU.

 

[appleguru]

Got mine back too. New screen looks good. They replaced my entire MCU.

No new rattles noticed post install, but they did ding up the instrument cluster trim piece, and my steering wheel also makes a funky (rubbing?) sound now when turning.

 

[ryantank]

@appleguru Darn, that's unfortunate about the trim piece and rubbing steering noise. I'm assuming you'll take it back in for those two issues?

Regretfully, yes. Still need to send them an email :-/

...They said they never seen anything like this before...

That means they didn't hear the case mentioned by Tyler Martin:

 

[cruiserlarry]

I have this on my Jan 17 MS90D...scheduled to be replaced this week. This issue seems to be on many Sept 16-Mar 17 S and X vehicles, so it might have been a bad batch on LCD screens...but it is definitely a known issue, and Tesla seems to be covering it under warranty without any fuss so far...

For those that got a new touchscreen replacement, is it properly aligned at the top? The loaner that I'm currently driving has the yellow bar across AND the top left portion of the screen shows more black area than the right side, making it look like the screen is crooked and not aligned properly.

My replacement is *not* aligned at the top and has been driving me nuts...
