Display stopped working

My Alpine CDA-7842 works fine from a functional point of view but the display (readout) had stopped working. All the lights on the display work but the actual readout is blank. At first the readout would intermittently work now it's completely dead. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I replaced the faceplate with a known good unit and the problem is still present.

My alpine deck used to play burned cd's and mp3's as well but now for some reason it will only play store bought ones i was wondering if maybe i pressed a programming button on the face or maybe on my...

The Alpine cda-7842 was not intended to play burned cd's and Mp3's. I don't recemmend you play anything but store bought cd's. I belive that the laser can be damaged by playing Mp3's and they sometimes make weird noises because of the laser seeking erratically, due to the year that cda-7842 was manufactered.

Screen says searching when iPod connected to Alpine CDA-9847

Check your ipod to see if it is shuffle mode. Alpine doesn't document this but they have a bug that causes the problem that you describe. If the ipod is in shuffle mode the Alpine gets confused.

Peripheral's Connex2Car adapter to an Alpine CDA-9851

the alpine should recognize it as a "changer" when you select the source; ie: radio, CD, changer. Sounds simple, but have you turned up the volume on the iPod?
The Alpine adapter is $100, but works great, you can totally control all your iPods functions, and it displays all song info on the Alpine decks display.

Disconnect whatever is attached to the BLUE wire at the back of the Alpine deck. Re-connect it to the BLUE/WHITE wire instead. This should solve your problem.

VW routan 2009 has no electrical, no fuse Hi, My Routan was running great. My son was in the car while it was running, with ac on and listening to his phone through the VES auxillary mini-stereo jack. He turned off the ignition, then on again to accessory, then everything went dark. Car has no response whatsoever. I connected a charger to try to start it, and I got a no fuse error. I think a fuse was blown, but don't know where to start. I've located the fuse box, and checked all the M fuses, they look fine. Next is the cartridge J fuses, then relays. Does anyone have any idea of where I might find the right fuse to change? Are there any other fuses that could cause this total blackout? Thanks.
