Replaced my NAV with another used unit, but used an internal ribbon from mine, plus bought a new LCD sceen. An acquaintance did the work. The result, working NAV again and absolutely loving the new LCD, no marks or missing pixels! (Can't really tell from the cell phone pics). Missed not having my music for 2 weeks.

Nice, JR!
Glad it turned out well! I need to get mine re-done!
Thanks. I still need the DVD portion fixed. What this swap fixed was the random reboot and now no missing pixels. Every once in a while the maps won't read even though I have an OEM map DVD. I'm thinking it might be the laser.
Does it tell you it cannot read the DVD? About 3-4 years ago mine was giving an error, I think it was something like cannot read the DVD. Then, magically, about 3-4 months later when I was about to order a new laser, it started working again, and has ever since. I think I had found the laser on eBay or somewhere, its been so long ago I don't really remember. The "fix" seemed pretty straight forward, I just had a lot of stuff going on at the time (story of my life!).Quote:

Think I'll try a dvd laser cleaner as someone suggested. If that doesn't work, I'll replace the unit. Thanks for your info. Glad that worked, I'd love it if mine just started working all the time again. :)
Lookin good JR...
One word, Eonon, lol...
Thanks Jay Jay. I might have to, kinks still not ironed out. Just found out my steering wheel push buttons aren't working for some reason, and they worked before the nav switch.
It can only be the canbus... Its whats controlling those steering wheel buttons... Hope its only a lose connection...
I tried a DVD laser cleaner and so far the maps now come up every time instead of intermittently. The system has not rebooted itself, so that's good. Now I just gotta figure out this canbus issue.
