BC780XLT LCD Problem

[SCPD]

I Hope I am Posting in the correct Place.

I got a BC780XLT and the LCD screen is gone, the radio works fine except you can't can't see what it is doing, Oh, and the light works too. Can I get a replacement LCD Screen or is it better to Buy a whole new radio altogeather?

The Radio is an Un-Tapped Un-Opened, Un-Modified unit. Origionally purchased about 4 years ago. Would Uniden Honor any warrenty, and would the warrenty even apply today?

Thanks

Warranty is for 12 months from point of purchase. The repair through Uniden would cost @ 50.00, so cost wise repair would be cheapest.

The display contrast does sometimes shift and it is possible it shifted far enough to make the display unreadable. There is information about contrast at http://myweb.accessus.net/~090/bc-780xlt.html.

You might consider a computer control program for the 780. The video display would eliminate the need for having it repaired. Just an idea.

The radio's mounted in a Console, the laptop has too many programs running already. My Guess is the Sun has played a role in whiping out the LCD. So repair or a new radio are the only two logical choices. I havn't the need to replace it with a 785 or 796D so if uniden is only asking $50.00 give or take to fix it. then that may be the solution. Thank you everyone for the Help.
