I have not used my scorpio 2.3 for 10 months and the battery has been dead for about 8 months. I have just fitted a new battery and everything works ok except the 7000 rds eon radio. The display lights up but It is blank and not displaying the word code. I do have the code for it. Any ideas would be welcome.
Regards
Dave

... either warm it up or freeze it - either will cure the display function because of "stuck" LCD molecules; no kidding!

And i f you need the code then you need the serial number from off the side of the radio and ask on here. Some people have the decode software and will give you the code.

Thanks for info. Put radio in my boiler cupboard for 24 hours but display still blank. Managed to get radio going by going through the motions of putting in the code but still blank. Got the hairdryer on it but still no luck. When you say freeze it does that mean in a fridge or freezer?
Any other ideas.
Thanks
Dave

the answer is in the question 
try cleaning the small metal terminals on both the radio and the panel, they can get tarnished and stop then connection

Highlander,
Just did a quick test.
1) When downloaded one should add the extension .exe since without it won't work.
2) When ran on my newest computer it reports"... that the app,cannot run beacuse infamous MSVBVM50.dll is not found / missing (on the computer)
Of course that can be easily obtained and installed but not for the layman.

when i download it it is a .exe file and it runs,
is that maybe the problem safety features to prevent downloading .exe?
I'll create a zip file and see if that helps

Hi Stuart,
I already have this program but thought I'd just quickly test your link and can confirm that it does work.
The file is now zipped up as you say and if the zip file is opened the executable file can be run straight from within by double clicking on it.
