opk so i tryed to do the bypass. and it worked great but now nothing happens nothing not the screen comming out or the power works no lights but the unit has power i checked that frist also i removed the bypass and still nothing works ne ideas of what i should do

Have you checked for power on both the red and yellow leads? If either one doesn't have power that will cause your problem.

yes i have and both had 12.2 volts running to them and i also checked my ground could it be my 30 pin connector cuz it somethime wont stay in could i have brok the connector

Is this an N/1/2/3? Check and make sure the cable to the hideaway brain is secure. If that is the 30 pin connector you are speaking of in your tirade (take a breath, man), if the socket on the display or the hide-away unit is broken, you may be a little bit screwed. Sorry.

most likely i fried some of the little cables while doing the solder. i did the same thing. what is better to use is a conductivew pen. very easy to use!!! So i obught a unit off e bay that was broken for like 200 and just switched some of the parts and it works great now. But definetly a big loss. Although this rout is better then buying a new board whcih is very defficult and with the labor and the parts it owuld cost about 500. So its up to u!!!

ok so i think that i am just gonna trash this one and go get a new one. any one need a brain or a 30 pin connector

Just find an authorised Pioneer service center at http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v ... 79,00.html and you may be able to repair it for less than buying another one.
