I was running late for work, chucked headeck in pocket. I ran down the stairs to my car and on the way down it fell out onto the stairs. I was like Meh at the time becuase it had no scratches or anything, anyway put it in the car and the last 1/3 of the screen dont work :cry:

.

Im gnna ring up the place i got it from and make up some bullshit story in the hope they will repair it for free. But if they dont any ideas on how much it would cost to fix? :cry:

depending what exactly has broken in it, it may work out just a cheap to order a new faceplate. Thats been my experience in the past with afew mates stereos

by **86_rolla** » Thu Dec 15, 2005 9:24 pm

like how much is cheap? because everytime i plan do do something major something breaks and i cant afford it i.e this it is a custom interior and then stereo breaks

Whats the headunit? And model number?

by **86_rolla** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 7:48 am

Clarion DZX846MC

best to email the supplier as well as ask at the place you bought it. Prevously mates have paid anywhere from 80-140 for a faceplate.
It can depend what is broken, but often the labour is just as much the killer as the replacement part. For sure its worth getting a quote to repair also if you have no luck at the place you bought it. It could be as simple as a dry/cracked solder joint, although I wouldnt count on it...

just e-mailed the supposid importer of clarion. They said because the 846 aint a nz h/u they have to import from japan and $300 for a face

do what i do and just pull it to bits and inspect it

i scored a free amp doing this

it had previously caught fire - melted one wire away from the solder

also fixed my radar detector - cracked solder joint

yeh im not the best at DIY aye. i c an see my self getting frustrated and throwing it against a wall or something ahhaha

how much is that hu? about $500?

so $300 is still cheaper :p.

Could always splash out and get a 946

but if you broke that... it wont be cheap. (touch screen and all)

You and your bloody Clarion touchscreen headunit :roll:

To be honest i would hate touch screen, as you cant feel the buttons as such.

by **Ae92typeX** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 2:40 pm

bummer...at that price, I guess its a bit of a tossup whether to get a face or upgrade. dosent sound like you have had it long however, so thats not ideal. As Coz says, its still cheaper...
so its the last 1/3rd of the lcd screen yea?
It could be a joint, but as I said before, may not be. sometimes the screen cracks and cant be repaired, just replaced.
I feel sorry for ya, I couldnt go without a stereo in any of my cars

by **86_rolla** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 2:47 pm

yeh i have had it for a few months and have got in debt to my parents to get it. Everything still works and all its just that it looks a bit gay because of the last bit not working. Im gnna take it back to parallel on saturday. I never new how much owning a car and doing it up could stress you out

oh yea also when i dropped it the plastic cover came off the screen and there didnt appear to be any cracks or anything in the screen on the outsides. Its like a flush straight line where the screen stops working

Santa's TardMe Listings · by **Santa'sBoostinSleigh** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 3:05 pm

just take it back and say its shagged and suddenly stopped working

if theres no visible damage just pleed that you havent dropped it or been rough, and that it must be a faulty piece of shi....

by **86_rolla** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 3:07 pm

Unless it was installed by a "quilified" person i don't fancy your chances, just going be prevous experence.

by **86_rolla** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 3:31 pm

ummm its got nothing to do with being installed by a qualified installer? unless it was a fault like the whole blew up or something, doesnt say anything bout qualified installer on the warranty wither just says 3 years on all headecks

theres no such thing as a "quilified" person

its qualified

sorry, just being cheeky

but you could be right here - depends how picky they are

by **86_rolla** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 3:35 pm
