Question about Audiovox SIR-PNP3 SIRIUS Radio Receiver
What you need to look for is the ribbon cable Duncan mentioned. It should be the only cable that goes from the screen to the main board (the largest electronics board). That cable should be fairly easy to spot once you have the case open. If that cable is disconnected or torn at all, that's your problem. You said it's completely dead, which means it's not a bulb or the lamp (which is too bad, because those are easier to replace). Unless that ribbon cable is loose or damaged, this will not be cost effective or at all easy to repair. In that case, it will be cheaper to replace.

On your car, see if you can see even a very very faint display if you view it at just the right angle. If so, you have a display backlight that has failed or burned out (if it uses lamps). Replace the lamps and you are good to go. If your unit in your car is a flip face then you may have a bad wire in the ribbon cable that connects the face to the mother board. This can be replaced fairly cheaply. Good luck with your unit.

To preset a channel or to change a preset channel, follow the procedure below.
1) Press the POWER button to turn on the TV.
2) Press the MENU button so that the menu display appears
on the TV screen.
3) Press the CH(annel) ? or ? button to point to "CHANNEL SET".
Then, press the VOL(ume) ? button.
4) Press the CH(annel) ? or ? button to point to "AUTO PRESET CH".
Then, press the VOL(ume) ? button.
The tuner scans and memorizes all active channels in your area.
? The TV distinguishes between standard TV channels and cable (CATV)
channels.
? When AUTO PRESET CH action is completed, the lowest memorized
channel reappears on the screen.
? When you press the CH(annel) ? or ? button after selecting "AUTO PRESET CH",
the tuner will stop at the memorized channels only.
? The TV may recognize TV channels to be CATV channels by receiving conditions. In this case,
try AUTO PRESET CH action again in the fine receiving conditions.
? When AUTO PRESET CH is activated where there is no TV signal input, "NO TV SIGNALS"
will appear on the display after the completion of channel scanning.
OK.

Thank you, Duncan. But this is a Sirius Satellite receiver. I take it from my car to a boombox at home. The display is completely dead. Don't know if there are lamps, fuses or whatever. That is what I am trying to find out. Even if I open to figure this out, don't know what I am looking for. Trying to find someone that knows exactly what I need to repair and where it is located within the receiver.
