Hi, this is my first post so please go easy on me..

I have a Pyle pwd40mu and the screen is garbage. When its light out the glare is so bad you can't even see it. So I turned the brightness up. Nope. All it does is makes all the color mash together. So I was thinking either replace the light with a brighter one or switch out the screen all together. Turns out, my phone's screen (htc one s) has about the same size screen. I figure i could get one off eBay for like $15. Any ideas?

I don't want any of the "sell it a get a different one" because that just isn't an option.

Pulled it apart and I don't think I will be able to replace the light. It is just a slim metal box. But the touch part looks like it is the base pic my problem

Well, my first question is:

What is R11 set to?

It's the thing located between Q44 and S3. (If you have a >very< old model, it is possible the R11 might be labeled R111.)

It's been a while since I worked on these, and I have to struggle to remember all the details. However, I am pretty certain that R11 is worth finding and checking.

BTW- how do you like the PWD40 when it is working? Enough power for you?

Sorry, it's a PLD40MU not pwd40mu... But ya, I've had it for about 2 months and it pushes my big ass 4ohm speakers just fine. The only problem I've had is the screen, and a couple are just features that you can't disable (or not that I know of) that I don't like.

This is an automotive stereo and I haven't seen anything that you are taking about

I was just following Ken's lead. He's a respected engineer and I figured he knew what he was talking about.
(Then I read that he didn't).
