Starting Problems fixed and Radio Display problems TO fix |
|
|
greetings and salutations...
A bit ago, I posted a note reporting
a (common) problem with a 1993 Nissan Sentra.
Problem was that nothing but a click would
happen when trying to start it.
Well, problem is fixed by putting
another new starter in it. Apparently the
FIRST new (aftermarket) starter was not
so good.
Now...I have another problem that I
am exploring fixing. The LCD display on
the radio has given up the ghost, losing
almost all contrast between the lit and
unlit segements of the display. Anyone
got a lead on replacement displays, or
cheap ($50 or so) places to get it fixed?
thanks
Dave Mundt

Hey Dave
Not too many repair places around anymore -- one can hardly get anything
fixed for $50. A solid replacement radio can be bought brand new at
Crutchfield.com for what a couple hours of labor would cost.
I'd imagine that you can get a replacement radio for that price - ebay or a
junk yard is a good source for original radios.
Regards,
Remco |

Yea (heavy sigh) although that DOES kind |
of run against a lifetime of trying not to waste
resources by fixing what gets broken *smile*.
It is one of those things that is only
a real annoyance about three or four times a year,
when, for example, the "AM/FM" switch gets bumped
and dumps the radio over to AM.
I shall keep looking about though...
