I own the Yahamas RX V850 which works great except the lighted
display is gone. It does not light and therefore you cannot tell
anything

I know what the unit is worth and I know what a repair might cost
but I want it done

Can anyone suggest a repairperson

I prefer to send/take it somewhere as opposed to doing it myself

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks


You need to purchase the 14v lamp from a Yamaha dealer. It plugs in
so it is easy to replace. Chuck

Uh the 850 has a flurescent display.


I looked it up, it's definitely a lamp, like the RX-V890 was. Most Yamaha's
are flourescent but not the 850. Looked through the manual twice however,
and could not find the lamp part number. The schematic reference is PL 101.

Thanks Mark. I ran a Yamaha warranty station when this unit was new
and I was pretty sure it used a lamp. They were a high failure part
but I can't remember the part number. Chuck
