Stereo Display Burned Out On '00 300, How To Replace?

[lexus99-GS300]

Thanks DCFISH. Received replacement display last week and installed today. Works great! My radio did look different than the one in your instructions but the instructions were close enough that the entire job took less than an hour. Thanks again!

Your welcome Happy that I could help out.

DCFISH, I HAVE A '01 GS300 AND MY RADIO DISPLAY LIGHT HAS BEEN OUT FOR 2 YEARS ALREADY. IT'S ONLY THE BULB, BECAUSE I CAN STILL SEE THE CHANNELS DURING THE DAYTIME. NEVERTHELESS, IT IS SUCH A PAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF YOU CAN HELP ME FIX THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE EMAIL ME PRICE & INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE KIT...THANKS! MY EMAIL IS: KENNETHWJEW72@MSN.COM

I have a 98 GS 300 that has a CD changer in the glove box. Photo attached. I too would like to replace the display on my radio. Can you send me instructions first so that I can determine if I feel comfortable replacing it?

I'm a newbie, so I have my fingers crossed that this post hits the proper place.

I have an 1999 LS400 with the Premium Stereo and in-dash 6-CD changer. I have a couple of issues I need help with.

1) Parts of the LCD are no longer showing up. I would like to repair/replace it, but I have no clue how to do this. Help!

2) I would like be able to connect an MP3 Player (Zen, IPOD clone) to play through the system, but again, have no clue how to accomplish this. Help!

My apologies if this has been covered ad nauseum.

Thanks,

John

I'm looking for the LCD for my 1998 GS400 w/Nakamichi. My LCD is completely busted - its blacked out (instead of fading) and I can't see it in daylight or during the night

I have a 2000 GS 300, no major problems, but recently the bulbs/LEDs that back light the stereo LCD burned out. I am not familiar on how to disassemble the stereo in the GS, so I do not know what actually lights it, but I was hoping I could replace it myself. And I ideas on how to get the face plate off and what is behind there would be greatly appreciated. I read elsewhere that it is surface mount LEDs which back light LCD displays, but am not sure if this is true in my case. Thanks in advance.

I have a GS300 2001. Formaly it belonged to my son. He had the same problem and relpaced the LCD display him self. To remove the Radio pull out you ashtry assembly to gain

access to two screws on the bottom of the radio. This should get you started. Give me a few days and I'll get more detail from my son and also where he got the replacement display

REB,

I just replaced mine, 99 GS-300 yesterday, got the display from dcfish and replaced it myself in less than 25 minutes start to finish, instructions were included. I'm pretty mechanically inclined needed a phillips screwdriver, 10mm. socket. It's actually pretty easy all for $140. If you need help let me know, I can walk you through it. You just need to get the LCD display from dcfish (he's a really good guy) and I received the display in couple of days. Sent payment through paypal.

Regards,

Blaise

$140 for burned out 25 cent LED? I'm wondering if it is possible to disassemble the display unit to replace the burned out LED. Would another 25 minutes worth of labor allow someone to unsolder the bad LED and replace it? Is it a sealed unit or is the LED mounted to a circuit board that could be soldered (like your cell phone). Anyone want to post a picture of what the display unit internals look like? (not trying to take business away from dcfish, not everyone would be willing to take it to the next step, but $140 for a burned out LED is more than I'd want to spend. Don't have a burned out display yet but seems like a lot of 2001 are writing in).

If it were that easy I would do repairs rather than replacements. It is a LCD not a LED. ;) Owners used to replace the entire headunit when there LCD burnt out for a considerable amount of $ more.
