	From discussions, it seems the SID in 9-3s, even later years, has a long and venerable tradition of losing pixels (of which there aren't too many). The SID in my car now is occasionally missing a column of pixels. What I am wondering is: (1) Since it seems such a common issue, is it even worth fixing? I mean, if it's simplya flawed design, then I don't see the point in going through the ritual of fixing it every 2 years. (2) Do they fix the SID, or just replace it? (3) Is this just the start, and more and more pixels will disappear and make the display unreadable? Thanks for insights! ...pablo

	hi there here are 2 sites explaining how to fix the gulty column on the SID.... issues are commun between 9-5 and 9-3, I had 2 columns off and used the "iron" method... on the 9-3 you can extract the SID with 2 credit cards that will not damage the the plastic surround. See http://www.saabs.cwc.net/sid_repair.htm and http://www.saab9-5.com/main.htm these are olny workaround solutions that may not work...
