I have a Blaupunkt Honolulu CD player whose LED screen suddenly went very
dim a while back. I removed the front panel, cleaned the contacts
(alcohol, compressed air), even took the panel apart and cleaned up
whatever I could -- all to no avail. Any tips on what else can be done?

TIA

Isn't that a 2001 model unit? This unit should have an LCD display.
Underneath the display there should be 2 6.3v microlamps wired in series, as
this unit was actually manufactured by Sony for Blaupunkt. You have to
remove the LCD to replace the lamps. East Coast Transistor has the lamps, I
can't remember if their catalog number is ML14 or ML15, one of them is 6.3,
the other is 12v. Their website is: http://www.kenwoodparts.com
but you'll have to call to order the generic items, they only have the
Kenwood catalog online.
