I have a Alpine CDM-7835 HU and the bulb for the display burned out and with me not being too good with a soldering iron, and not having one, I was wondering if someone could fix it for me. I can send the faceplate and you can fix it for me. Anyone? I think it uses the same bulbs that our stock radios use.

i can solder anything.. i can not guarantee dismatling and re-assembly to go smoothly tho

so if you can take it appart for me, i will gladly remove all componenets and re-install them

It'* not bad at all. 2 Screws, pop teh back off and the board is right there. no problem. I think you would have to remove some solder to get the display cover off.

im definately down for giving it a shot, the biggest problem may be getting a hold of the proper bulb tho...

No problem, you can take a bulb from another part of the board, I don't mind, I just need to see the display.

Lets hope its not a SMLED. (or surface mount LED) Those things are getting brighter and smaller everyday.

they may be small but they are hella sweet. And really not that hard to work with.

SMT is absolutely not a problem for me at all.. electronics manufacturing is my business.

PM me for my address if you want to send it out for me to give it a shot
