I have repaired mine last year, hopefully i remember correctly:
- Remove the DVD-unit, you can find instructions here on CL and Youtube.
- Remove the screws that hold the front of the DVD-unit in place.
- Remove the front from the DVD-drive. (you have to bend some clips a little bit.)
- Resolder the volume button with 60/40 solder, do NOT use leadfree solder. That's why it got loose.
- Reassemble
Very cool and thank you for the information, I am inept at even having a clue on how to do any of this so it looks like it is time to try and bribe a buddy that has a clue!

Actually, I think you'd be quite surprised at how easy it is. Its just a matter of being very careful and taking your time.
If you could access and remove it and take it to someone to solder it, that could save you some $$ on labor.
From the sounds of it, the process to solder it would probably take 10 minutes at the most!
Same thing has happened to mine. Comes and goes. To remedy it I press the **** in firmly turning the radio off, then turn back on and it usually works.
I have a warranty for my for my car but the issue happens intermittently so of course it won't happen when I take it in. I can live with for now.

The PO of my car had this issue come up a few years back and had Lexus fix it. I think it came out to $600 or so. I will go through the records as I have every single one since new and will report back with the price and parts ordered.

Mode controls
Just noticed my mode controls on steering wheel doesn’t change stations like it used to. Volume works fine. Having spiral cable unit replaced tomorrow as horn stopped working- seems this function might also be affected. Anyone know how to bypass the spiral cable for horn. I can do without steering controls for radio (although, it is nice) 2007 SC- did not have these issues with my 2002 sc.
