Everything happens the same, except that it turns on and off randomly what could be the problem?

[@salmanpirzada1]

I have a head unit in toyota vitz 2008.. the screen is very bright with very dim icons.. i cannot reduce the brightness. Please tell me what can be the problem

[@ssird60ss98]

What is the solution when the screen works on other rns and others screens seems to have the same issue (white screen) ?

[@zdenekrokusek3737]

Dear, which temperature you have set at heat gun? Thank you.

[@UnixCoDElectronics]

Hi, this case was 390C with 45% air flow. I use hot air 360-400C in general but i change air flow base on needs

[@SebastianFerenczy]

Is it possible to change the backlight? My screen is so dark that I can hardly see anything when it's sunny outside, even though the screen is set to maximum brightness. I am also wondering if you know if it is CCFL or LED illuminating the backlight unit?

[@UnixCoDElectronics]

Hi, there 2 types of screens used in RNS510, on both you can change backlight. My advice is to replace the screen screen entire and not go directly for backlight only. Model from this video is CCFL the newer model is LED.

How can I fix my rns-510 which is showing a mostly pink display in horizontal and vertical lines?

[@SmithAdam1983]

Hello. Very nice video. I suspect having the same problem on my pioneer . Will try to fix it soon. Thanx. What heat gun are you using?

[@UnixCoDElectronics]

Hello, i’m using Atten ST-862D model for hot air

[@xcroszkt6957]

I have the problem with my pioneer as well did you get it fixed and how?

[@mubyn9865]

What's that thing like a syringe that you use?

[@roadtoeurope6017]

my RCD510 have white screen like in this video, but if i remove the battery cable or car parked for 24 hours or so after that its open totally fine but after few minutes it gets blurred then pink and then completely white, it started when i sent the car to fix the aircon and they found leak in evaporator and they removed all dashboard to replace it. any solution for this issue?

[@albertoislas3624]

Buenas noches encontraste alguna solución a este problema ??

Hello, is it same for issue, that colors are mixed? Everything works fine, but only colors are weird

[@UnixCoDElectronics]

Hello, it can be the chip itself because that chip is managing the image for RNS LCD, i never changed for mixed colors, but you can give a try.

[@vicredrmy]

Hello, the screen of my VW stereo flickers, turns on and off constantly and when I enter the radio or any menu, I only see the buttons but the texts cannot be seen. Could you help me? tanks

[@JR-sk3jy]

I have the same problem - did you get any resolution?

[@calebweinberger8724]

Say man I've got an Infiniti that will white screen and have diagonal lines for a while. Once I'm driving for about 5 to 10 minutes it cuts into worki g properly until I kill the vehicle Any ideas

[@UnixCoDElectronics]

Hi, its quite hard to diagnoze without have the unit. But anyway after is working..you kill the car and start again in short time unit is working properly ? I think there are some bad solder joints or capacitor…. Or it can be some component fails when it is cold…

Rns 510 neće da se pokrene i podigne sistem uopšte.Stajao je auto 8 meseci.Možeš li mi pomoći savetom šta učiniti ?

[@UnixCoDElectronics]

hi, if is power up and not booting into software, my adivce first try to reinstall software / update unit from CD/DVD

[@Kutchkaramshilnews]

This looking ic remove ....? And New ic fitting sir tell me ...?

[@UnixCoDElectronics]

No, its only reflow ( resolder ) the chip.

[@RaduAlexandru_trucking_channel]

Hi! I have blue/black screen. No logo, nothing on screen. The unit is restarting. CD is not working. Any ideea how to repair it?

[@UnixCoDElectronics]

Hello Radu, well i have some ideas, did you connect via serial to unit ? ( open serial debug to see log from unit if is booting and where stucks ) maybe some flash is bad s29al016 or s29gl032. But most important how it ended in this state

[@tobiashead9730]

@@UnixCoDElectronics i have a question: i have update my RNS, but the update was not successful, so the device will not start - same issue like Radu - could i solve this issue with RNS Manager?

[@UnixCoDElectronics]

Well i had this issue in past, i have solved with SetConfig, i don’t think you are able to repair with RNS Manager( my experience with RNSMgr is limited )

Salut tot la rns510 am o problema, se porneste interfata, apare welcome to Volkswagen, si dupa se inchide, dupa se repeta treaba asta la infinit

[@UnixCoDElectronics]

Salut, incearca un update la firmware, ar trebui sa rezolve problema

[@vasirus5616]

[@remus097]

So just replacing the screen or the lcd board should have same effect, right?

[@UnixCoDElectronics]

Hello, yes if replace the lcd bord will have effect or the lcd with board( font )

Hello my Uconnect on 2010 dodge caravan is just white comes off and on randomly. could there be an issue with the ribbon wire or could it be that chip? What is the name of that chip and how can I get one?

[@phas3rrr]

Mine turns white due to heat, everything is working. Is it possible to fix?

[@kibaboudi48]

good luck bro

[@diondeman636]

U added some mixture and then heated it? Im sorry, unexperienced on this. What is the fluid u used? It seems to me it is to attach it back to the motherboard.

[@UnixCoDElectronics]

It is soldering flux to remove oxide. If you don`t know about flux my advice do not attempt to resolder de IC.

[@diondeman636]

Thanks for the response. I will try to contact someone who can. Thanks for sharing you're fix :)

[@shieldguard250]

Hi....my android have white screen,and i tried reconnect the all the ribbon but ,still same,sound and touch respons,but the screen,is it the same solution as you?

[@UnixCoDElectronics]

Hello, at Android units does not work this solution, but there from my experince can be an issue with ribbon cable or socket but you need to all checks in order to can fix.

rns-810 black out?

[@UnixCoDElectronics]

Hello, for Black Screen can be multiple cause of failure, SW Fail or HW fail some debug steps need to be follow

[@yipark2686]

It could be on fist board(the one under dvd unit reader ) i saw bad solder points

[@yipark2686]

thank link?

[@UnixCoDElectronics]

I don’t have a link for that failure, but on next unit with black screen i will try to make an video and post it, but i don’t know when. Try to reflow first board on top side and see results.
