The backlight on the LCD display of our car radio has failed. I guess it's the backlight -- I'm not even sure of terminlogy. At any rate it allows you to read the panel in the dark. When it was working, its brightness was variable and was controlled by the same pot that varied the other dashboard lamps. A search of newsgroup threads about repairing such things suggests that it's just an incandescent bulb or two behind the panel that need(s) replacing. Is there any reason to fear that the backlight for this radio might be more complicated and/or hard to obtain?
