Great video my man! Really came through and I was able to fix before a long road trip. Which saved my three boys lives if you ask them lol! Thanks again.
Worked perfectly for our 2015 Suburban. Thanks for the how-to guide!
I also ordered the plastic pry bar tool kit for $7 or so. Total repair cost around $15. Can't beat that!
This worked perfectly - 2016 Chevy Suburban Premiere. Do not get suckered into buying a single one of the replacement cables on Amazon for $20 - it is exactly the same as the 20 pack he mentions in the video that is $6. Keep looking till you find it because why not have extra ribbons? This took me 20 minutes, if you are not mechanically inclined or never took anything apart as a kid, I could see this taking an hour. Literally saved a minimum of $180 just to have the dealership look at it and likely another $800-$1000 for them to tell us to replace it. If you bought your car new, this is where the dealership tries to make you feel dumb for not paying extra for extended warranty on components like this. This is 100% a DIY situation where you can save yourself around $1000 with an hour or less of your time and $6 on Amazon. Great video
Yeah its kind of crazy how much replacements cost at the dealer.
Thanks, the dealership quoted me $750 to fix, I did it for $.30.
Thank you for your time putting this together. This worked perfectly and I never would have known this fix.
Thank you for the detailed video! My 2015 Suburban is having the same issue. I bought the same cable pack on Amazon and will be repairing mine thanks to your video!
Glad i could help!
Just took everything off and waiting for the strips to arrive. Thank you so much for posting this tutorial!! I’m so excited to get it working again.
Did you fix it?
My middle row dvd wasn’t working on my new used ‘15 Escalade, ordered the part followed your video and it works perfectly thanks so much!!!
This worked well but it took at least an hour. I appreciate your post, thank you!
Thanks for the video! Great step by step instructions. Really easy to replace.
Thanks for the help! Saved me a ton of money… $8 fix that might otherwise be $300-$500!
I don't see the link to make the purchase of the ribbon
Huge help. Thanks!
Worked perfectly on 2018 escalade. Thanks!!!!!
Donde lo compraste
Took mine all apart now, but got the 150mm by mistake trying to see if this will work out.
Thank you!
Gracias por el video
Thanks worked for me. 2016 chevy suburban LT. $7.00 on Amazon
Do you have a link?
Thank u
Will it work on the 07-09 escalades
Do you have the link to purchase the ribbons great video by the way step-by-step
Nice!!! ❤
Do you think if both of my tvs stopped working at the same time this is the issue? I checked the fuse (that I THINK it is) and it’s good. I’d love to get my tvs at least one fixed for my kids lol. I hope to hear back from you!
Hey, looking for link to that ribbon? Fantastic video if I can get the part.
Will this work on a 04 suburban z71
will the 150mm work?
My screen does not have a flip up tab… it just pushes in and the new ribbons are super flimsy and a total B to push in because all they want to do is kink
This was a huge money saver. Thanks for posting!!
Does this work for no audio as well?
Thank you for sharing, I was able to fix my DVD GMC Yukon 2015.
Great video... can you send me the link please i have that same problem on my suburban..
Changed mine out still doesn't work on the 3rd row
Will the 150mm work or need the 200mm ?
I ordered the 150mm by mistake.
Installed the 150mm and it works thus far :))) thank you!
Whats the name for that part
What’s the link?
Worked great.... a few of those little plastic snaps did break when I had to separate the housing to get to the screen ribbon... I was going to use a hair dryer and warm up the plastic housing to get everything nice and pliable it would have helped for sure... because it was about 40° out when I took the screen inside the house so it didn't really have time to warm up but it's totally fine doesn't matter.. a couple scuffs here and there in housing...😅
How do you find them? What do you search for?
I think it’s a 40 pin 0.5 mm ribbon roughly 8” long
How can I simply disable my DVD player on my 2005 Saturn Relay because it doesn't work, but still makes annoying noises even when it's "off".
The monitor is making noises?
@@gruffproductions683 yes. It clicks & buzzes etc like something robotic. Like C3PO from star wars 🤖👾
@@gruffproductions683 it's the unit attached to the monitor
Were do u buy the part
You can buy on amazon. I put item description in the info.
Thanks
Wish I would have seen the entire video first. I opened the screen up to be stuck at the purchase 😒
What if the remote is lost
The screens should auto turn on when you flip them down
Smallish and nodoll
I have a 2019 Suburban. The third row monitor works fine, but won’t stay up in the locked position. It’s constantly popping open when I hit a bump. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks.
Same problem here
The push tab used to drop it down does come out when taken apart- just not sure if you can order that part separately
