I guess you would need to find someone who could replace the LCD. I know the service exists for the LCD on the clarion radioing. Might be cheaper to get a second hand unit.

Hi Tcubed,
If you you mean that all the numbers are readable but just dim, then yes, change bulbs.
But if you mean some of the pixels that form the numbers are missing then it is possible to repair it.
You say you put pressure on the display and some of the pixels came back, this is the your problem and can be an easy fix, I have fixed mine on both P38's I had/have.
All it is, is a small piece of silcone that sits at the base of the display and between the display ribbon wire, all that happens is it slips and releases the pressure hence lcd display not shows complete numbers.
I did do a topic a while ago 'fixed hevac unit' I am sure I explained it better on that thread.
any probs let me know and maybe I can help.

Thank you so much, I've just read your other thread and I think I understand. I'll give it a go and let you know how it goes!
Well I gave it a go; the bad news is it sadly hasn't worked - perhaps I didn't do the screws up tight enough (although they were pretty tight). The good news is it meant I could clean out the whole insides.
Thanks anyhow; good clear instructions.
They are all black plastic, the walnut just fits over the top.
