Fix the common issues

These are the most common issues we see on these Gen 1 Yamaha Connext 7 inch systems. If you have a separate problem and want to make sure our fix will take care of it- send a chat message to confirm.

  • UV Burn LCD

    This happens frequently with exposure to sunlight and causes a yellow, burned, hazy appearance due to the sun damaged plastics.

  • Dim Backlight

    When your original CCFL backlight burns out, it leaves a dark or dim appearance making it difficult to see in sunlight. We replace it with a brighter LED backlight.

    Frozen touch

    We commonly see these units to have unresponsive sections or areas of the screen, where you press it and nothing happens.

  • Faded / Peeling

    Over time, the plastic screen layer can peel away and leave unsightly hazing, making it difficult to see.
