well, this morning they are fine, all i did was checked all fuses that had to do with illumination and radio. none were bad so no replacements were made, and now it works. wish i knew what i did.

model cdr 2005 radio/cd player works fine except there is no display above where the radio station/cd track number is supposed to be displayed. I have time and temperature as normal

My radio was dropped and parts of the display disappeared, but the display did not break. Unless you have some background in radio repair, DO NOT attempt this repair! If you do, it is at your risk, or the risk of damaging your radio! I disassembled the radio and found the display. There are 2 "rubber strips" that fit next to the LCD. I cleaned and reseated the strips and display about 3 times before getting it right. AGAIN, unless you know what you are doing, and can solder on circuit boards with a proper pencil iron, don't even contemplate it! Let someone who can do it.
