HERES SOME GREAT HT 101...
always keep a small flashlight (like a minimag) handy.
Great for checking on stuff without raising the lights.

A more expensive rig might be worth sending off.
SOMETHING LIKE A pHILLIPS would probably not be worth it,
use a minimag or something like it.
THESE display panels tend to be an all integrated piece these days.
DEPENDING ON YOUR UNIT, you might not even be able to find one. THE CHEAPER the device the more likely they use "stores",
generic parts mass produced. DOUBT if there is a "light" you can
replace. A CHEAP PLAYER would sound as good(or better), and believe it or not, cheaper to buy.
