radio help

AM/FM / CD /cassette/ works perfect except the screen does not light up. I took the radio out(really quite easy) and took the head off in 2 minutes...no bulb ...can the LCD be fixed or should I just get another radio for 100-125 from the junk yard?
BTW...now I see why so many Ford radios are stolen...too easl to get out:lol:
Thanks for your help...
Update...I found a fix I am going to try...wanted to share it incase you didnt see it in another post...

"I sent my Radio to TARO Electronics, nice guy to deal with, they turned it around in 1 day, shipping took 6 days each way by , I reinstalled it and everything works great! I would recommend TARO to anyone who has this proble, it's the cheapest fix other than doing it yourself (I opened up my radio and closed italmost immediately for fear of doing more damage!)

Good Luck!"


TARO fix the display and offer a 1 year warranty, $45.00 plus $12.00 shipping!
