It's actually for my 4runner, but the monitor went out. did I blow a fuse or did wiring get messed up? It's a Sony indash. sound and everything's fine, just don't get any images.

 

hmm. nobody knows? any stabs at it?

 

Canny, I could be little to no help on this....

Are you getting any light at all? If not, tubes may not be working and/or an inverter issue.

Also, if this indash is a retract, the flex circuits, cables and connectors will also need to be checked in case they came loose.

I don't have car audio/video experience but I work on LCD units at work a lot and the common problem I see with LCD's are tubes and inverters.

 

hmmm.. do i have to take the unit out in order to check this? I prolly will take it to an install shop, if it's not something simple that I can do.

 

Yeah, this is something you want to take out of the compartment and take apart. Since the DVD unit contains many parts and complex, I wouldn't even touch it.

If the tube is out you can prolly find a part number and re-order it.

 

Sonys break. I haven't bought them in years because everything I bought that was sony broke on me in about 2 years. CD player, discman, dvd, etc.

 

take it out and take it directly to the battery, plug ACC and BAT wire to the positive terminal, and ground to negative, if it powers up and the screen lights up, then its a wiring issue or fuse popped, if still no screen, most likely it broke
