[quote=”barneyb” post=124025]I had a radio fail that way. It was the digitalizer on the back of the volume control.[/quote]
My 2006 Accord does not have sound and the light is on. I heard pop sound and sound went out when this happened a few months ago. Now, it does not “pop” any more – just not sound.
If you repaired digitizer circuit on your radio, please share how you repaired it. Thanks
The radio and the climate controls are in one unit. There are two circuit boards:
– The one, mounted vertically, is for the display panel, volume control and climate control knobs.
– The head unit is mounted perpendicular to the vertical display unit. I open the head unit. Removed the heat sink thermal paste and re-applied a new coat of Arctic MX-4. The sound came back for couple of days. I may have touched something on the display/climate control board to make it worked for couple of days.
I will take the unit out again and examine the display/climate control board. If I don’t see any visual sign of burnt components, I will use my hot air repair station to re-flow all solder joints on that board.
Another source of the problem is the connector between the radio unit and the display/climate control board. That is it – the connector is the problem. When I worked on the radio unit to replace the thermal paste, I separate the radio unit from the display/climate control board. It worked for 2 days after re-seating these two units. I will take a closer look at the connector on both unit.
But anyone have the fix for the 2006 Accord radio “pop” and no sound issue. Please let me know. Your help will be appreciated.
