Problem advice please

I came home last night and noticed that the light on the front LCD dispay of my Denon 2900 is not functioning
The front display is completely black
At first I thought the player was not functioning than I noticed that the light to indicate standby mode is illuminated. The player still functions

What is involved to get this fixed
Do I need to go back to Denon
I bought the player from John Tucker at Exemplar

Your thoughts are appreciated

Reporting back once more on my problem ...

When I look at the front display there is a dim light when I turn it on vs when it is turned off
however the blue lighting which shows the tracks and all other information is not illuminateD. The screen is blank

Do I need to send the unit back to Denon
I have not e mailed John Tucker as the unit was bought re sale here at Audiogon.

Any further input is appreciated !

Mike:

Don't know if you have a user's manual or not ... here's the link for one . Refer to the last page (page 34) under troubleshooting. Maybe the thing to do is to reset everything back to the factory settings. The display is factory preset to "on." If you still get no display ... then it's back to Denon.

Bluemike, given your FLD display tube is still fine (which I am almost 100% sure it is fine), I'd say that the repair should be in the $200 range, max. Depending on your location shop rates, you may even get it fixed for as low as $70.

If for some reason the FLD has gone south, then it will cost more as the FLD is around $100-150 from what I know. You need to check this though.

Good luck fixing it! I'm sure it's not that bad.

Alex Thx for your responses
Is this something that I need to go directly to Denon or can an experienced digital technician do the work instead

Please advise

General question to the forum Any good technicians in the Toronto area ?

Well, sorry to say but Denon will not work on a modded player. Experienced local tech is your only hope, unless John Tucker wants to take a look at it.
