P38 clarion radio repair interest??

Hi all, its been years since i've posted on here, or had a landy for that matter. But ive come back to sensible thinking

I have managed to fix my clarion radio in the p38, i took a few pics as i was doing it, and from searches on google, it seems to be the "common" problem.

Just wondered if there was any interest in a little guide with pics, as i know there are companys charging a fair amount for this repair.

thanks, Daniel

Possibly a silly question but do you have a recent version of acrobat reader on your computer? Adobe - Adobe Reader download - All versions

Missing pixels is often just where the ribbon cable to the display no longer makes contact with the board very well. I've not taken one of these apart, but on another stereo with missing pixels the ribbon cable was stuck to it's contact point with some sort of adhesive. If the Clarion is the same you can try just pressing the ribbon back into place, or alternatively rub a warm soldering iron over the back of the cable where it joins - this warms and re-sticks the cable, but be very careful not to overheat it and melt anything. If you try this and melt it, don't say you weren't warned!!
