I have a Uniden BC 890XLT and I'm trying to find
someone who has the replacement bulbs for the display
that I can send my scanner too to have them replaced.....
My last bulb just burnt out and need them all replaced.....
Radioworld in Toronto who sells Uniden Scanners
don't have the bulbs....
Can anyone help ?????
I'm located in Toronto, Ontario Canada....
But I'm willing to send the scanner to the U.S. to have this done.....
Thanks.... Martin VE3PWR
The bulbs most likely not bad I have always had bad capacitors on the inverter board you should be able to see the capand wherethe bad one as the top will be deformed or/buldged replace all the deformed capacitors and see if that solves your problem you have,

Well I took the advise of Techman....
I took the scanner top lid off and took the display apart and found that All 4 Bulbs were burnt out.....
So I went to the local Electronic supply store and purchased 4
Green LED bulbs.... and WOW...
It looks Great and the display looks better than it ever did....
All I needed was a steady hand / patience / soldering iron and
there it was.. I could see the display again no matter what time of day it was...
and here I was .. ready to pay someone to do it for me and it was EASY....
