This was definitely a lifesaver!! Me and my husband sat down and this only took 40 min and only spend 8 dollars on Amazon. Saved us 300+!! He did so good with instructions!! This worked on our 2016 GMC Yukon Denali.
Brian! You’re the man! I did exactly what you told you, and my DVD player works! I was about to spend around $300 for a new one, and I stumbled across your video yesterday. I cannot thank you enough!
ANYONE WHO HAVING THIS PROBLEM..... DEFINITELY FOLLOW THIS VIDEO. ......I want to thank you for this video . My front screen went out in my 2015 yukon XL Denali last week I thought I would've have to but another assembly or find it on ebay. My wife ran across your video and showed it to me. Today I followed your video step by step. It was easy to follow and very well narrated. Glad my wife is a research type of person. Herself and your video saved the day. Thank you again for this video. If anyone has this problem. Follow this video and subscribe it will be worth it. Thanks again Brian.
Just bought a used 2015 Suburban and both screens were backlit w/no video. Picked up these ribbons and video is now working like new! Thank you for thr awesome tutorial!!!
You have saved me from the depths of despair, agony and gnashing of teeth during our road trip this summer. I thank you, my wife thanks you, my children praise you forever!😄
I want to thank you so much. No stereo/tv shop would touch it. They all wanted to just replace the whole unit. Your video was the saving grace. The step by step worked perfectly. 2016 yukon Denali (Spring Valley Lake, CA)
I found a link online to make this same repair. It was just an assortment of pics and I wasn’t sure exactly how to proceed. This video was beyond perfect. And it fixed our problem, thanks!
Wow just wow! 2016 Suburban and instructions work perfectly!! Thank you so much Brian!! I got alot of “street credit” with the wife and kids on this fix!
Thank you for this video! I was able to use it to fix the rear screen in my 2019 Tahoe. The step by step instructions for disassembly and reassembly were spot on.
Just bought a 2016 Tahoe a few days ago. I could’ve sworn the screen was backlit at the dealership. Now nothing. Used link to order this cable. Very much appreciated! Pretty discouraging finding out it didn’t work. Hopefully this solves it. Thanks again.
I just brought a 15 with same issue. My front screen shows video/audio sharing not available at this time. I did replace ribbon but still nothing but it looks like it wants to work. If I move buttons I can barley see something moving. Does your front screen ever give you a message
@@48916211 the 40 pin ribbon actually fixed it. The front screen never gave me any notification or anything like that. The front was working fine just no picture in the back. Hope you figure it out. I also ordered a remote on Amazon thinking maybe that was needed but it was just the ribbon.
Brian, I am still watching this video today, going to fix the overhead monitor on my Dodge Journey. You are deserved to get more subscribers for your video.
We actually called our local gmc dealer to set an appointment and they told us we would have to leave the car there for 2 days. Then my wife found this video, we ordered the cable and 20 minutes later were back in business. Thank you Brian
This totally worked perfectly! I would never have thought I could repair my own A/V screen when the dealership quoted $970 to do it. This took me about 45 min and saved me a ton of money. Thanks so much for sharing this!
The man who saves a lot of money, Bravo....35 cents cable vs $350 to 7-800$ repair!....I could fix my 2016 Tahoe screen in less than an hour. After you remove 4 screws/nuts (need 7mm hex nut driver), video @1min39sec, you need to push the little pin at the back/top of each connector to release the cables. Very easy, just need a light source to see the pins at the back/top of the connectors...Thanks again Brian!
We bought a used 2017 Yukon Denali and the back screen didn't work. Shortly after the front screen stopped. Dealer said it was As Is and washed their hands. Quoted me $1500 a screen to replace. $8 in cables and a detailed youtube video and both screens are operational. Thanks for taking the time to save me time.
Brian, bought a 2018 Yukon a few years ago and never had used the DVD screen. Doing a cross country move and attempted to use it and it was black. Your video helped me save a ton of time and money. Thank you, my kids are going to be thrilled!
Just completed BOTH my monitors following your video and have fully functioning monitors now. Recently bought a 2017 suburban and within a week the second row monitor went out. I looked online for options because there was NO WAY I was going to take it to chevy and pay hundreds of dollars when I just bought it. I found an article about these monitors having this faulty wire and people changing them out themselves. I was sold; so then I looked on YT and found this very detailed video. I ordered the proper wires online for about 8 bucks(20 pack) on Amazon and per commentary and video I bout a hex nut set which included the 7mm one I needed to get monitor out car. I read the comments and suggestions from past viewers and then started to confidently work on replacing the wire that was the issue. As another commentor posted I decided to change both just incase the other one was on its way out too. The only constructive criticism I have is not to include kids when doing a 'how to' video; it was alittle annoying and made me rewind some sections a few times(mostly the begining when in the car) because I couldn't hear with the child in the car talking. Second would be to show us the struggle as well because if you struggle during instructions so will we. I'm referring to the section when it was time to remove the screen from itself; when it became difficult the scene was cut and then when you came back on you had it off already telling viewers to be careful taking it off. Why cut it? Show us too how you got it off, it was my first time doing it and I struggled wondering if there was a trick to removing it, as a result I broke more then I wanted of those clip things. Overall video was good and I will look for this person if I need another how-to on something. Thank you
Thanks for posting this video! I just performed this repair in my '15 Yukon Denali XL and now my overhead screen works! Followed your video step by step and it turned out great! Very informative and great instructions on disassembly and replacing the ribbon cable. Thanks again!
It’s 2022…just did this repair with our 2017 Chevy Suburban. 40 minutes and $8 later, I have myself a fully functional entertainment system. THANK YOU!
I want to thank you for taking the time to make this video. I heard about these ribbon wires going bad and that you could replace them but I was so nervous about trying to do it myself and possibly making things worse. Your video was so easy to follow and gave me the confidence to do it! I went a month or two without the TV trying to figure out what I was going to do about it. I knew just getting one from a junkyard was pretty expensive and like you said getting it repaired at a dealership is crazy. After researching I found out about the ribbon wire and I ordered them like you did. Then I thought I could find someone to change it for me but that proved difficult as well. I took it apart once and chickened out LOL. That was about six months ago. I finally decided to give it another shot and try and find a video like yours to help me through it. Great job on the video, I couldn’t have done it without you!😁👍👍 I can’t wait to show my four-year-old he has his TV back! Thank you from the both of us!
Just saved me $800. Repair worked perfectly. Ribbon strip didn't look damaged when removed, but replacing it with the new one fixed the problem. Link to amazon item still good. $7 and 30 minutes to save $800 is a great ROI.
Money saver and Life saver: thank you! I did this start to finish this afternoon in my 2015 Yukon XL. I viewed the video 3 times in total; completely precise.
Thank you for making this video!!! I followed it and saved us $$$. It took all of 30-45 mins and followed step by step. This worked on my 2016 Escalade.
Kuddos for posting this! Just a friendly tip for anyone attempting this. I went ahead and followed these instructions and still had an issue. The issue was actually worse than when I took it down. I had a hunch that one of the NEW ribbon cables I used may have been faulty. So I went ahead and went through the steps yet again and grabbed another new ribbon cable... and it finally worked. So if you go through this process and it still doesn't work, Try another ribbon cable from your pack in the event the new cable is faulty. Thanks again!
The local dealer wanted to charge me $821 for a new tv unit. You saved me over $800. If you ever make it to the NC coast I owe you a beer or 12 and dinner! Thank you, thank you!
This is a serious design flaw that hopefully GM addressed in the later models. I recently bought a used 2015 Yukon and didn't think to check the rear screen before I signed the as-is paperwork. When I finally tried to pop a DVD in a few days later after purchase, I got the black screen of death. When I took it in for a separate issue the dealer was going to cover that we found before purchase, I had them look at the DVD unit, and after one day of "working on it", they said the unit would have to be replaced for $600+ dollars parts/labor. It seems to be the same story that the dealers won't even attempt to fix the ribbon and see if that works, for which they could still charge one full labor hour for. Instead, they attempt to gouge you for something that could take 30 minutes for you to fix at home with a little know-how and some simple tools. Thank you for this video!
Great Video Brian, just completed fix on my 2016 Suburban rear screen using your process, took about 25 minutes. Like others, paid $825 to dealership to replace my other one, wish I would’ve watched your video before.
Thank you for video! This fixed my 2015 Tahoe screen! Naturally it went out right before vacation road trip within a week! Found the 40 pin connector parts (pack of 20) off Amazon for about $8, shipped asap, and got it working in time & saved a lot of money to put toward vaca! Thank you!!
You are awesome! We were having this exact problem. Followed your product recommendation and install advice. Now have two functioning screens! You saved us a buttload of money and headaches!
It worked! Found your video online but still went to a Chevy dealer for a quote. They wanted $650 for a new screen. They did a “test” and assured me it was not the cable and the screen definitely needed to be replaced. I followed your video step by step and the screen was fixed. The most difficult part was separating the back panel from the screen without damaging the plastic clip brackets. I recommend using a tech tool kit with separating tools. Thank you!
Ver very very helpful! Guys if your thinking of doing this go for it. Also a tip to you , make sure you buy the 40 pin reversal ribbon cable. If you buy on amazon make sure you get the 200mm cable cause the 150mm will work but its harder to work with since its shorter. Make sure the connections are on the opposite sides of the cable and not on the same side or it will not work. Good luck guys!
Thank you sir! Probably took me an hour or hour 15 total. Hardest part is separating the screen without breaking the tabs. Guide is very straight forward and even though this was unlike anything I’ve ever done, I was able to follow these instructions and fix t he dvd player for my kids! $8 off of Amazon!
Thank you so much!! This worked I am super appreciative of this video and you taking time out to make it and show step by step how to fix! Super easy and understandable instructions was able to fix in 10 minutes. Thank you!!
Thank you thank you I have a trip to San Antonio coming up and I just used your Method and finished the installation and it works perfect my TV has been blacked out for years im super excited for the trip now and I took the unit to the dealer when it was under warranty and they did the same Method I seen alot of clips broken and plastic bent you got it thank you for helping all of us
Thank you so much! Ours died a few months ago. We have a road trip out west from Florida in a couple weeks and this is going to make the trip much more tolerable with 3 young ones.
Thank you for the video. 2018 Yukon SLT w/ 2nd and 3rd row screens. Wanted to let everyone know, the second row screen on mine did very slightly, there was a slim metal cover over the ribbon on the back of the LCD. I was able to use a pry tool to remove it, no screws, just some funky press fit clips. Otherwise it was exactly the same! Thanks for the more pleasant road trips this summer!
It worked on my 2017 Tahoe - Thank you, you saved me $800 from the dealer. Your step by step process is very helpful. thank you for sharing this video.
Hey Brian, I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for the video. I have a 2015 Suburban and both DVDs have the same issue. My grandson (4yrs old) and myself just complete fixing the front DVD Player using your video. Excellent “how to” on repairing the screen. It’s working like a champ as my grandson said. Again, thanks and will do the rear DVD player on Sunday. BTW, I only got two stripes for about four dollars from amazon. Take care and stay safe. Orlando and Farmer
Thank you for this. My first attempt did not work, guessing I didn't push the cable far enough into slot. Tried again, and now works. The screws next to the lights and the button to push to open screen, do not need to come out. Figured that out on my second attempt. There ought to be a tipping option on here, so I could send you an actual thank you.
Thank you good sir! I give you all of the thumbs up as your video helped me fix both displays in our 2016 GMC Yukon! You may not be getting a Christmas card from GM Parts though :)
This is exactly the video I needed to fix my blank DVD screen in the rear seat of my 2016 yukon xl. Only took about 30 minutes. Thanks to the dude that made it. Although I paid like 15 bucks for my cable and only got one...
I just watched this and want to say thank you for this video it’s a huge help. I plan on buying the strips and fixing mine in my danali as soon as It arrives from Amazon
Great video. Over the past two months both displays had stopped working on our 2016 Suburban. I bought the 20 pack of the ribbons for $5.99 on Amazon. I also found a small pry tool kit on Amazon for 8.99 that made getting the back off the display pretty easy. Thanks for the help!
Well done Brian. I was about to make the same video today for my channel but you really didn’t miss anything to warrant posting it again. Giving it a thumbs up and a subscribe to help support other startup channels. I know how tough it can be. Well done again!
Dealer quoted me $601.50 for a replacement tv plus install. watched this video and decided it was worth a try, even if I shattered the back panel which I kinda did but it didn’t seem to matter it’s so snug. Went online and found a free shipping 20$ ribbon, way more Expensive than his but It checked out so I went with it. After that. Flawless tutorial. One hour total investment.
Hey Brian this video was a real life saver. And motivation to watch, just a dad taking care of what needs to be taking care of. I appreciate the camera man she killed it. Thanks again for the video. Ps I still some screws left 😅
Great video. Had the same problem with my 2015 suburban and just got it working again thanks to this video! Any other problems you run into with your Yukon please post it.
Bravo on your video. Extremely helpful and I appreciate you not leaving out anything in the porcess . The two wires that you have to disconnect from the screen when taking it out of the car. Maybe make sure next time just to let people know that you have to kind of pinch them and wiggle them out it's very hard to see so unless you know that initially. you're going to sit there and pull on them and possibly break them. Otherwise Brian, the video was great and in my situation I knew that my strip was not broken because if you pulled the screen down halfway it would light up and turn on but if you pulled it down all the way it would not turn on. So I knew that my strip probably just needed to be taken out and flipped around. And that's what I did. After reassembling the entire housing it works great. Love the video thanks a lot.
Thank you , thank you , thank you !!! Thanks for taking the time to make this video. For less than a dollar I fixed what Cadillac wanted to charge me $900 for. I ended up just pulling both DVD players down and replacing the ribbon in both. Now my kids can’t fight about what to watch again !!🥴 this may or may not be in the video but you need a 7mm ratchet to get the screen down from the ceiling . Took me awhile to figure it out LOL .
Worked to perfection, thank you! I wonder if the replacement cable would be more durable if a protective (tape? were to be applied) I know the original has a thick sliver cover over it.
Brian, thank you very much for posting this video. My Chevy dealer gave me an estimate of $821.00 to replace the middle row DVD screen on my 2016 Suburban. That is after tax dollars. I would have had to make $1345.90 plus an additional 7% sales tax to get it repaired. Seeing your video online saved me over $1400.00.
Thank you very much for taking the time to put this video! I have a 2015 Tahoe and only the screen went black, I did the video and it worked perfectly.
Thank you for this step by step process. Our screen went out during a road trip. After researching the issue and finding your video, I was able to fix it on the road.
Thank you very much for uploading this video my suburban 2017 had the same problem and thanks to your video I bought the cable in amazon and following step by step of your video I fixed it too !! Thank you !!🙏🙏🙏
Two women, my bestie and I just did this in her car to prove we could!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!!
This was definitely a lifesaver!! Me and my husband sat down and this only took 40 min and only spend 8 dollars on Amazon. Saved us 300+!! He did so good with instructions!! This worked on our 2016 GMC Yukon Denali.
Brian! You’re the man! I did exactly what you told you, and my DVD player works! I was about to spend around $300 for a new one, and I stumbled across your video yesterday. I cannot thank you enough!
Oh I have a 2016 Yukon.
Same here. He really is the man. I was thinking to take it to the dealership not the best idea to save money!

Thanks for the thorough walkthrough-this fixed our monitor. Paid $160 to Chevy dealership to tell me the entire unit needed to be replaced.
this was excellent as the dealer basically told me I was on my own and you saved the day Grand kids are doing the dance

Great video, fixed screen and only cost $7. Thanks Brian
Bought the same stuff yesterday, followed your tutorial for the exact same dvd player in my 2016 Tahoe, now it’s up and working! Thanks man 👍👍👍
Video is great! I’m one proud mama! Followed your step by step instructions and our screen is working! Thank you

thank you so much....... I order the cable and fix it in 30 minuets, it was broken for more than 6 years.
Great Video Brian, just completed fix on my 2016 Suburban rear screen using your process, took about 25 minutes. Like others, paid $825 to dealership to replace my other one, wish I would’ve watched your video before.
Yes thank you!! This worked. Saved $700 dollars with a $7 fix. Great video, step by step.
Awesome tutorial dude . This 8$ pack of ribbon cables just saved me 250$ on a new tv thanks again man
Thank you for video!
This fixed my 2015 Tahoe screen!
Naturally it went out right before vacation road trip within a week! Found the 40 pin connector parts (pack of 20) off Amazon for about $8, shipped asap, and got it working in time & saved a lot of money to put toward vaca! Thank you!!
Thank you!!! This was a super easy fix for my suburban. I have 19 wires left for the future, but I don’t care! You’re the man!!
Hello, could you give me the part number of the tape??? Please
You are awesome! We were having this exact problem. Followed your product recommendation and install advice. Now have two functioning screens! You saved us a buttload of money and headaches!
Did it. Thanks so much!!! Saved myself $470
Great video. I did this and my DVD player is now working!

Crushed it with this vid my man. Thanks for helping our family out and linking to the part we needed!
Thank you so much! Ours died a few months ago. We have a road trip out west from Florida in a couple weeks and this is going to make the trip much more tolerable with 3 young ones.
Wow, I was right next to you
Thank you for the video. 2018 Yukon SLT w/ 2nd and 3rd row screens.
Wanted to let everyone know, the second row screen on mine did very slightly, there was a slim metal cover over the ribbon on the back of the LCD. I was able to use a pry tool to remove it, no screws, just some funky press fit clips. Otherwise it was exactly the same! Thanks for the more pleasant road trips this summer!
Worked like a charm. Great job. This is the 2nd TV that's gone out and the dealership for the first was 800$. Literally a few buck fix and easy to do.
Dude! Brian! You the man! I did this for my 2016 suburban and it worked perfectly! Thank you for saving me time and money. This video rocks!
It worked on my 2017 Tahoe - Thank you, you saved me $800 from the dealer. Your step by step process is very helpful. thank you for sharing this video.
Great video. Just bought a used vehicle with broken DVD player. Used your idea and worked like a charm. Thanks for saving my family tons of money.
Worked like a charm! I ordered the part you linked in the description and followed your instructions! I Thank you! And my kids Thank you!
Hey Brian, I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for the video. I have a 2015 Suburban and both DVDs have the same issue. My grandson (4yrs old) and myself just complete fixing the front DVD Player using your video. Excellent “how to” on repairing the screen. It’s working like a champ as my grandson said. Again, thanks and will do the rear DVD player on Sunday. BTW, I only got two stripes for about four dollars from amazon. Take care and stay safe. Orlando and Farmer
You just saved me $700. Thank you!
Thank you for this. My first attempt did not work, guessing I didn't push the cable far enough into slot. Tried again, and now works. The screws next to the lights and the button to push to open screen, do not need to come out. Figured that out on my second attempt. There ought to be a tipping option on here, so I could send you an actual thank you.
Helped me out, 2015 xl Denali. Appreciate you saving me some money
I will order the 40 pins cable today and I must do that next week, my screen has been on vacation for almost 5 years.
Thank you for this video, as small and unimportant as it may seem you saved me $300 on a new screen.
Thank you good sir! I give you all of the thumbs up as your video helped me fix both displays in our 2016 GMC Yukon! You may not be getting a Christmas card from GM Parts though :)
Thanks for making this video. This fixed the problem. Replacing the cable is a lot cheaper than replacing the monitor.
Thank you for this video. It showed me exactly what to do, and the parts link was awesome. You saved me hundreds of dollars. Thank you..
This is exactly the video I needed to fix my blank DVD screen in the rear seat of my 2016 yukon xl. Only took about 30 minutes. Thanks to the dude that made it. Although I paid like 15 bucks for my cable and only got one...
I just watched this and want to say thank you for this video it’s a huge help. I plan on buying the strips and fixing mine in my danali as soon as It arrives from Amazon
Worked like a charm....all in took about an hour to do and like you said $7. Thanks for the great video.
Great vid! We are back in biz! Feeling the fellow dad vibes. Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Over the past two months both displays had stopped working on our 2016 Suburban. I bought the 20 pack of the ribbons for $5.99 on Amazon. I also found a small pry tool kit on Amazon for 8.99 that made getting the back off the display pretty easy. Thanks for the help!
Hi!! Do you have the link to the kit??
Hey Blake, by any chance you have a few ribbons left over? My monitors recently stop working.
Well done Brian. I was about to make the same video today for my channel but you really didn’t miss anything to warrant posting it again. Giving it a thumbs up and a subscribe to help support other startup channels. I know how tough it can be. Well done again!
Dealer quoted me $601.50 for a replacement tv plus install. watched this video and decided it was worth a try, even if I shattered the back panel which I kinda did but it didn’t seem to matter it’s so snug. Went online and found a free shipping 20$ ribbon, way more
Expensive than his but It checked out so I went with it. After that. Flawless tutorial. One hour total investment.
Hey Brian this video was a real life saver. And motivation to watch, just a dad taking care of what needs to be taking care of. I appreciate the camera man she killed it. Thanks again for the video.
Ps I still some screws left 😅
You sir are a life saver! Daniel Tiger lives to see another day! 🤣
Thank you very much!!!! Followed step by step and was able to get the second row display monitor on my wife’s 2015 suburban LTZ working!!
This video was great! Thank you for the guidance and making the part east to find!
Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Did this in under 25 minutes. Thank you!
Just used your video on our 2016 Yukon Denali. Worked perfect. Thank you
This was EXTREMELY helpful!!! Fixed my problem. Thank you so much!!!
Great video. Had the same problem with my 2015 suburban and just got it working again thanks to this video! Any other problems you run into with your Yukon please post it.
Bravo sir! Just finished this procedure and fixed the issue. Thanks for the video and for the link for the cables.
Great video thank you! Checking on how long this fixed lasts with the replacement 40pin. It looks significantly more flimsy than the OEM.
Bravo on your video. Extremely helpful and I appreciate you not leaving out anything in the porcess . The two wires that you have to disconnect from the screen when taking it out of the car. Maybe make sure next time just to let people know that you have to kind of pinch them and wiggle them out it's very hard to see so unless you know that initially. you're going to sit there and pull on them and possibly break them. Otherwise Brian, the video was great and in my situation I knew that my strip was not broken because if you pulled the screen down halfway it would light up and turn on but if you pulled it down all the way it would not turn on. So I knew that my strip probably just needed to be taken out and flipped around. And that's what I did. After reassembling the entire housing it works great. Love the video thanks a lot.
Just follow this video to replace the ribbon on my 2020 Yukon Denali. DVD would not turn on it worked perfect thanks for the video
Thank you Brian! This video worked great for my 2016 Escalade.
Thank you , thank you , thank you !!! Thanks for taking the time to make this video. For less than a dollar I fixed what Cadillac wanted to charge me $900 for. I ended up just pulling both DVD players down and replacing the ribbon in both. Now my kids can’t fight about what to watch again !!🥴 this may or may not be in the video but you need a 7mm ratchet to get the screen down from the ceiling . Took me awhile to figure it out LOL .
Worked to perfection, thank you! I wonder if the replacement cable would be more durable if a protective (tape? were to be applied) I know the original has a thick sliver cover over it.
Brian, thank you very much for posting this video. My Chevy dealer gave me an estimate of $821.00 to replace the middle row DVD screen on my 2016 Suburban. That is after tax dollars. I would have had to make $1345.90 plus an additional 7% sales tax to get it repaired. Seeing your video online saved me over $1400.00.
Thank you very much for taking the time to put this video! I have a 2015 Tahoe and only the screen went black, I did the video and it worked perfectly.
Thank you for this step by step process. Our screen went out during a road trip. After researching the issue and finding your video, I was able to fix it on the road.
Thank you very much for uploading this video my suburban 2017 had the same problem and thanks to your video I bought the cable in amazon and following step by step of your video I fixed it too !! Thank you !!🙏🙏🙏
Excellent video. I followed each step and it fixed my problem! $8 repair!
