Head unit repair

OK, I'm going to be dismantling my head unit soon. I'm replacing the ribbon cable that connects the flip down face to the main unit.

The Deck is a CD8445. Anyone have any advice?

Also, is there a cheap solution for being able to power it up in the house?

I want to make sure its in full working order before I put it back into the car.

Ok I cant remember correctly. Its the older computer power supplies. YOu can just use the 11V rail without any issues. Doubt you can get them anymore.

I would just use the car battery.
