I have a 03 Honda Accord EX with 42,000 mileson it. Well, the backlighting for the audio and climate control sceen is not lighting up. Everything still works on the radio but I can't see a thing. I don't really know why this happened but if anyone can help me with how I can get the system out maybe I can fix it. The dealer told me it would cost me $500 to $1000 th let them fix it, but I think there just money hungry. If anyone can, PLEASE HELP, thanks, STOPARRETT03HDACCD

The problem is an internal fuse in the display backlighting circuit inside of the radio. You should not attempt to repair it yourself unless you have a good understanding of electronics, know how to read a schematic, and can solder and desolder ting surface mount parts. Otherwise, a car stereo repair shop can fix it for you much cheaper than replacing it through Honda -- I typically charge about $100 retail.

Hope this helps,
