This is my first post, so guys please go easy on me. I've frequented your forums and I would like to say many thanx as you have saved me many headaches and even more $'*.

My stock radio head-unit (CD/cassette) looks like it is getting a hotspot on the bottom side of the LCD. I've searched a lot of topics and havent found anyone with this problem. Do you have any suggestions or strings to look-up? I've already started looking for a replacement unit. Is there anything I can do to slow this process (ie, fan etc.)?

Welcome Smiley!
Actually I haven't heard of that problem, doubt there is a way to fix an LCD that is going bad, I'd recomend a replacement. Aftermarket replacement of course. Stock is no fun. Seriously either would be fine, your preference on what Headunit to get.
Sorry doubt there'* a quick fix for a bad LCD.

yeah what he said u can probaly get decent aftermarket cd play of the price of getting the stock one fixed. o and and welcome to the club.
