Pro-2045 backlight?

[N8DRC]

Hello
The backlight on my 2045 went out today, took it apart and couldn't find where it was, has anyone ever fixed this before and could give me a few pointers? Thanks.

You may need to remove parts 18 through 21 in these pics.

Can't say, I haven't tried to order any parts other then the CTCSS plug in a few years ago and they no longer stocked it. Uniden had it though.

Almost all replacement parts are now "Radio Shack Unlimited" only and are not stocked by or sold thru the website (Website is actually run by another company for RadoShack). Get the part number from the above list (ie 11647245) and go into your local store and tell them you need to order some RSU parts. If they don't know how to order them, tell them to hit the "Special Transaction" key in the upper right hand corner of the POS keyboard next to the non-merchandise key. http://support.radioshack.com/support_electronics/doc36/36060.htm


It amazes me how many stores (and managers) don't know about RSU any longer....

Appears to be a couple of pilot lights in the LCD - 10793420.
