My RHB dvd,cd,nav etc went completely black. No sound no anything. I put a reman and it works fine. Tge technician in me knows it is just one thing in there. Any thoughts? Do you repair them? How did you know about that chip being a problem child?

I do not repair these professionally, I'm a DYI kind of person. I discovered that the chip failure was the cause from a Google search and from talking to a few car stereo repair shops. They advised me of what to do to repair this radio and I decided to share that info. Not having seen the inside of an RHB radio, I couldn't tell you that it has the same issue that mine did. When my RES died it would make a popping sound through the speakers and if I inserted a CD it would play music but would cut out every 3 seconds or so. The same with the AUX port.
