YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE MINIATURE BULB THAT LITES UP THE DISPLAY, YOU WILL HAVE TO REMOVE THE RADIO FROM THE CAR AND THEN REMOVE THE TOP SHEET METAL COVER ON THE RADIO, YOU WILL SEE THE BULB SOCKET PLUGGED INTO THE BACK OF THE DISPLAY.

Radio, CD player, and clock went out on 2006 Dodge Dakota

Idid see a service bulletin concerning radio. sound and display lost after engine crank. turn key off, then back to accessory position, radio functions work. the fix is to reprogram radio with new software. I also saw several codes listed for radio, they were manufacturer specific codes. did you check for codes?

2008 mazda tribute dash display with clock, radio station and temp does not work. Radio and cd player works fine Buttons are lit up on radio buttons

The small display screen is renowned for this fault. Press on the plastic surround/bezel and see if the display shows any sign of life. It appears to be either a soldered joint or circuit board problem. I would doubt that replacing the radio will fix the fault, and at a bet, buying a replacement unit will be expensive and probably only result in the fault returning. Never know - there may be someone who has managed to work out a permanent fix for it...

Radio display not working

From the way your post sounds, I'd say the dealership is correct.
You could try aftermarket radio, of course that would mean, remove and install yourself.
There might be a stereo install shop close to you? I guess you could call and get an estimate.
I just looked at crutchfield.com on the internet, they have radios they say will fit your vehicle for 50 bucks or less. I don't about the cost of shipping and handling?
I'm not pushing Crutchfield, I'm sure there are many stereo web sites.
Walmart may have stereos, I don't if they will fit your vehicle? Look around. Get install estimates.

Ford focus radio clock not working

It would not be possible that a detail cleaning would cause that to happen. When you have no display on the screen it is usually the LCD display that has failed. Unfortunately that means a new radio.
