If you've got a Vision (profile says classic) have you tried adjusting the HUD intensity?

If you take the fibre optic cable out of the head (see the download pdf from the ap website on how to take it off) are the leds bright or dim?

Try cleaning the hud with a toothbrush and warm water to remove the salt buildup in the holes.

Somewhere on this forum there is a description, or a link to a description, on how to remoce the HUD cable from the scrubber head & replace it.
Keep in mind that unlike all other cables, this one can be removed safely as it does not pass through the scrubber head. The scrubber head contains a transparant little window under ther cable connection, and the actual LED's sit inside the scrubber and transmit their light through the window towards the light-transmitting fibre strings in the HUB cable. So no leakage risk.
At the risk of sibmitting redundant documents on this forum, I have attached the factory (dis)assembly instructions as a PDF file.
I'm sure a moderator will replace them with a link if I am indeed being redundant in my document supply....

Ciao,

Tino.

excellent attachment Tino - that's the sort of thing that makes me so much more confident about taking the unit to pieces. Can you remember the original source?
