Alright I have a Panasonic CD player (SA-PM31) and the display area is
always all lit up.. For example lets say I'm listening to a CD...the
display shows Tape, CD, AM/FM... and for the time of the track thats
all messed up.. Can anyone help me to fix this or should I just ship it
for repairs?

All of the segments lit up at once on the display, is a very odd and unusual
failure mode, that I can't remember ever having seen on one of these.
Without a service manual, and a 'scope, I fear that you are not going to get
too far with it, and you may have to consider letting a repair shop venture
an opinion on it.

quite likely bad connection to the lcd. See if wiggling the lcd
slightly makes it work, if it does, check the lcd and rubber cnnecting
strip are clean and seated correctly, and ensure the display is pressed
onto it properly by the casing. If not, a thin card gasket can help. It
could be something else, but this is common cause of such things.
