Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Yesterday I checked out my 996 C4 -00 after it has been
resting out under the winter season.
Been keeping it in a garage with no heat.
Started it up and found out that my instrument display
had around 40 small dots, (bubbles) that glowed in orange!
What could have happened here? Something serious
or is it only moist bubbles?
Hopefully it is something that clears up after warmth and dry. Have seen others on here have displays go bad. You might be able to find some info searching.
JReid had a problem simular to yours. Maybe ask him.

Drifter - For what it's worth, I started driving the car again a few weeks back and the effect went away shortly thereafter. Don't know if it was the cold temperatures, lack of use, or both, but everything seems to be fine now.
Thanks for the reply JReid. He should be waking up over there in Sweden some time soon to find out the problem will likely clear up after the chemicals aren't are warmed up in there.
Hold down your air conditioners recirculate button then press both + and - temperature buttons at the same time while holding down the recirculate button. Oops
Good thing you don't need a good A/C living in Washington.
Thx for all info guys! Exactly the same phenomena on my display
as on your pictures.
I will take it out for a ride this weekend and "get som heat in it".
Hopefully it will go away. I will keep you posted on the progress later on.
