Pioneer Head Unit Not Showing Anything

[Neo_frog]

yeah i sure do and it is pretty cold around i live it's 7 degrees out side.so i put the eraser on the place teeth and the face teeth right?

Just rub it along the contacts on both sides like you were erasing something and attempt to make 'em shiny. (Doesn't always work) It really depends on how old it is too..

EDIT: Don't abuse them though.

It's just a 1st echelon fix. If it doesn't work then you didn't lose anything but eraser shavings.

I replaced one a few years back on a old kenwood D mask I had. It really aint that hard just take your time and dont lose anything...lol. You will have to take the whole radio apart to get to where the cable connects to the circuit board.

oh crap take the whole stereo apart.im scared now lol

[dadillac27]

yeah if you havent done something like this before I suggest taking it to someone for the repair. I got quoted $120 for my old kenwood.....i said forget that and did it myself

[Beanz]

for 120?DAMN i could get a new stereo

well idk i might just roll all black like that for a while but its gonna be a bitch trying to find out how loud it's at.

i got a question, why not go to a radio shop n see if they got that same headunit u got n try another faceplate n see if they can sell u just another faceplate for ur radio, they aint expensive if its just that but if its the ribbon cable u could buy a bad headunit from a shop n just use it for parts, my buddy sold me some stuff like that befor cause he buys em in bulk n takes parts out of em to fix other headunits n waht knot cause its sometimes cheaper to buy another headunit from a buddy that runs a shop than a new one or have some other place fix it, i got a broke replacement deck for like 20-$40 n could part it out for stuff, n sometimes they work so u could have one that worked n do that, i dought u could get a 780 that cheap but its worth a shot maby a local shop could order u a replacement faceplate
