did you try the fix of adding a couple of strips of foam on top of and underneath the glued-on connector on the SID and then waiting a couple of days for it to settle in. That solved my problem As for another, I bought a used one off the internet one time, but it too was bad so I sent it back. I put it in the car and it mated up just fine, just that there were more pixels out on that one than the one that I had. I finally bit the dust and took mine apart and put the foam into it. go here for directons on how to fix. http://www.users.waitrose.com/~randmwilliams/index.html "Brenden Conte" <contebnopsam.rpi.edu> wrote in message news:3F76170B.8050909nopsam.rpi.edu... > My sid has gotten to the unreadable point - i need to get a new one.
