Audio Systems: ford radio problem display blank, mazda b4000, ford radio


Question
Hi Tom.  
The display on my Mazda B4000 factory radio has gone blank. ( Same radio is found in a lot of Ford products). This is a common problem with a lot of this type stereo, according to what I have found on the internet. Apparently the part of the radio that handles displaying information get some bad solder connections. Have you heard of this? I found a place on the net where I can buy the information on what to resolder. I am a electronic technician, so this kind of repair doesn't bother me. Just wondering if it is a scam or not. Are you familiar with this problem: it is a factory installed cd/cassette AM/FM stereo with a lot of neat display parameters. I have also found a number of places where I can send the unit in for repair for this problem.( NOt cheap!!) If you know of this problem and know what to resolder, that would save me a few dollars!!
Thanks for taking my question.
