Default (OT) Why the end of the lightbulb is a dark day for us all

By my count, there are at least 28 pins or connections on the bottom of the
LCD.

So I expect that the cost of replacing the LEDs is very high, far more
than the radio is worth. When the radio was relatively new, if you needed
to replace the LCD or an LED, you would just get a new logic board
from Radio Shack.

Now you would have to find a dead radio with a working logic board, such
as one that had the front end destroyed by lightening and use that.

I hope that answers your question.

Geoff - one more thing. :-) If a repairman had what you said or I
could get one, what do you think would be the price? Just curious.
