Speedometer LCD fault

[KJA2001]

I noticed today that the LCD display on my speedometer was "faded" with a lot of pixels difficult to see. Is this a fault seen before? It was rather hot but nothing else out of the ordinary.

the LCD will "fade" when left in the direct sunlight or heat but will return a little later. At least mine does.

1038 shows that. it get's worse with heat, but doesn't go away completely when it cools.

Mine's a lot worse in the sun. All the pixels return, when it cools off, at least enough that it's not a problem. Seems common.

This is also a common problem in the Lotus community. my suggestion is to have a speedometer shop take a look at it and have it fixed like BMW climate control units or anything else of the like.
