I can only offer a guess as to what is causing this problem. The unit's LCD screen is powered by a flat ribbon cable, which can sometimes be seen from the top of the unit as the screen is sliding out. Try observing the cable as the screen is sliding out. If you can see any cracks in the cable, it needs to be replaced. Unfortunately, you will have to send it in to Pioneer to have that done. This issue is a known problem to Pioneer. If it is indeed the flex cable, they should replace it for free with a 5-7 day wait. The screen having a yellowish tint can be a sign that this cable is about to fail. I wouldnt worry about it now if you can still see your screen fine but if the screen goes out or gets worse, I would try to send it in to Pioneer to see if they will replace that cable for you.

Jvc kdr431 wont turn on

Check all of your fuses and make sure you are getting power to the red wire. It sounds like you are getting power to the yellow wire already. Both the red and yellow wires have to have power going to them in order for the radio to work.

DISPLAY HAS A YELLOW CAST

First test your monitor to another computer, if it works fine with another computer, then your video graphic card is damaged or the connection port, or cable is bad. and needs to be replaced. If the monitor do the same with the yellow cast with another computer, then your monitor may need to be adjust for coloring in the screen menu, or simply do a auto adjustment with the monitor option. If that donsn't solve the promblem then you need a new monitor.

Whole screen turned to yellow caste, so empty document is yellow and all whites are yellow. . Color controls on front of monitor seem to have no effect

You are missing blue signal, check pins on both ends of your video cable, it can be the video card or the inside the monitor also. Try it on another PC also.

2007 Honda Civic Navigation Screen went black

Had same problem with 2008 Honda Civic.
Note: you will need anti-theft code so get it first!
Solution:
1. Turn ignition off.
2. Look for fuse box under steering wheel.
3. Remove fuse #35 which is for the Navi-audio unit.
4. Then re-insert the fuse. This will reset the system.
5. Turn ignition on and the Navi-audio on. Buttons WILL be working now.
6. The unit will request for the anti-theft code for Navi-audio system. Enter the 4 digit code....Yippee!
However, I lost all my radio preset stations. Thankfully my saved destinations in navigation system were intact.
