boffa Posted March 13, 2009 Report Posted March 13, 2009 I have a 5000 series head unit in a 51 galaxy and it has developed a problem. As soon as I try to turn up the volume the display shows RICP and the volume does not change. It does the same thing if I push the fade/bal button. The unit is the one with the volume knob and not a rocker type. I suspect it may have failed and needs to be replaced, but just wondered if anyone had come across this problem and if there is a fix. The manual says that I should be able to hold in the man button and then scroll through to RICP ON RICP OFF but that option is not available to me. I do not have any kind of rear audio either and it appears that RICP has something to do with that. Thanks in advanceSteve Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted March 29, 2009 Report Posted March 29, 2009 Try taking the unit out, disconnecting all leads, wait a few minutes then re-connect (assuming that you have the code).My parents are on holiday and I've been using their car. The Gal (with 5000-series radio-cassette and CD changer) was left in my garage for 8 days and when I went to use it, the radio was totally dead - no display, nothing. I just removed it from the dash and did the above, and hey-presto! It asked for the code when re-powered up, I entered it in and the unit has worked fine ever since. The hardest part was finding the radio extraction tools; I knew I had a pair somewhere in the house.......... Quote
Nigel-in-oxford Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 The lcd in mine seems screwed, most of the display does not com on and I get part figures. Can the LCD be taken out and repositioned?Thanks Quote
