Broken TFT dashboard cover
Hi everyone,
I’d like to ask the community if, on a KTM Duke 790, it is actually possible to replace only the TFT dashboard cover/housing, or if in cases like this the only real solution is buying a new TFT unit.
I tried replacing the cover with an aftermarket one bought from AliExpress, but after installing it I started having problems with the warning lights. They looked like they were not receiving enough power and were behaving strangely.
I then removed the replacement cover, cleaned the board/contact area with an anti-oxidation electrical cleaner, and now the warning lights are working correctly again.
So now I’m wondering:
- Is the TFT cover/housing realistically replaceable on its own?
- Could an aftermarket cover cause pressure, misalignment, or contact issues with the board/display?
- Has anyone here successfully replaced just the outer cover without needing a full new TFT dashboard?
This is the kind of part I mean:

Any experience or advice would be really appreciated.
