Model # KDC-X769, has the flip down face that hides when you turn off. Problem is, when I turn it on the face opens all the way, then closes halfway. Same thing when I turn it off, it closes all the way, then opens half way and stays like that. Any ideas on what is causing this?

sounds like it might be binding on the sides. is it mounted in the vehicle when turned it on and off. if so try unmounting it leave it plugged in and turn it on and off if it works fine then you have a mounting issue. also you might want to try resetting it. by unplugging it .

is the display gone? Do the buttons still function? Sounds like it's most likely the ribbon cable between the face and the body. You can pick em up online for about $12 plus shipping, or take it to a Kenwood repair shop and pay them about $120.

I took it out and it still won't work right, also tried resetting it and unplugging it a few days ago. The display works and all the buttons work. Is the ribbon hard to replace? Also, does this model have a clock? I'm trying to help a friend with it and he doesn't have a manual.

yeah that radio has a clock i have almost the same one. what you need to do is the tracks in the metal casing on the outside of the radio look at those if hey are bend it wont let it go up mine did that so look at it if youi could get pics of the side and stuf and close up of the tracks it would help alot
