Hello there!

Yesterday, my LCD stop working.

It was weird because I used it before for just half an hour, I washed my car (OFF).... and when I turn it on... nothing.

Right now, everything works well. The CD player, tuner, even the buttons!

I checked the power and ground connections, and nothing.

Now, I have 3 options:

1- Send the faceplate to repair (Do you recommend this??)

2- Buy another faceplate (Do you know where and how?)
3- Buy another HU (not good, because I don´t have enough money)

Any answer to my questions???

Thx

the 2 most common sources of this proplem that we see are that the LCD has been bumped or skewed and is not making contact with PCB anymore ( this is most prevalent when the faceplate gets dropped ) or the flex foil between the detach face and the motherboard is failing.......

I did it.

And nothing happened.

I checked in Kenwood webpage, and the faceplate costs $200. It´s so expensive!! Isn´t it?

well obviously you have to properly diagnose where the problem is first.....

if the LCD got whacked out of alignment you take the faceplate apart and re-align it...... ( dont try this at home kids )

if you meter the flex foil ( ribbon cable ) and one of the circuits is open ( which is what happens when they start to fatigue ) then you replace the flex foil
