Lexus LS400 MK4 Sat Nav Backlight LED repair?

[cawmere]

Hi,

My Climate control LCD Backlight has stopped working, is this an easy repair, is there anyone that can help repair it? Costs involved?

Thanks.

They are normally illuminated with small filiment bulbs, never repaired one but if you can solder not too bad a job to do.

I'll try and take a look at mine this weekend and see what's involved to repair it.

I had the same lamp go on me about 6 weeks ago I tapped it a few times and it came back on and has stayed on.
