Rothenberg Radio LCD Illumination

[Brendan Walsh]

And I've found another dead bulb:  on the Rothenberg head unit, the LCD
illumination has gone dark.  The stereo (all 10 speakers) still
functions well and
sounds good, and I'm not ready yet financially to do a full system upgrade,
so I'd like to at least try to repair the LCD lights.

Alex,
lcd's are typically lit from the side using led's(brighter, more
reliable,consume less power.) if your display has gone dark it's more
than likely  a bad contact internally. howver from looking at the
stereo it may still be back lit using halogens. Is it original to the
car, if so what year? I think by the mid 90's most displays had
switched to this method.

Good luck
Brendan
