Shaggy and Scooby Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 I have a Yamaha RX-V870 and the display went out. It still worked otherwise so I looked to see if it was something simple. I found they used a little light bulb. I thought hey great easy fix I've seen these at good ol Radio Shack. Well I found the wattage rating etc and they did'nt match. I did find a website that carried it but said it was discontinued. So my question is how could I convert this to LED lighting. I tried a white led with the orange cover the light bulb had on it. But it was still white and did'nt light the display well. I would like to just use one and be done with it. But I have no idea really were to start. I thought it would be neat to change the display to blue instead of orange kinda like marantz. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Or just maybe a place to get the bulb cheap.

DrWho Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 some recievers have the option to change the brightness of the display, anywhere between off and really bright. Is there a button on your remote that might control this? My dad thought he broke the reciever once and then I had to show him the "dimmer" button on the remote.

Shaggy and Scooby Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 My Yamaha dvd player has that option. But this definately has a burnt out bulb. But that was my first thing I checked. I thought my kids had made it shut off some how. The only time I think it dims is if you put it on sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
