My kids mistook my radio as a slot machine and filled it with coins.
Now disconnected the radio and managed to remove all coins. The radio though doesn't work, when i turn it on, I can hear a little static coming from speakers, and the buttons light up , but there is no display on the LCD strip beside my clock display. So I'm unable to enter a code to allow me to use radio. I have reseated all cables going into back of radio ,no damage there. So am i correct in thinking the LCD strip maybe gone due to old age . The megane RT is a '96. Anybody else have a problem like this or replaced this LCD strip before or know how to remove it. Mad

the lcd display is normally pretty reliable.

methinkws the radio may be blown now. The coins will have shorted out the borad.
