How to repair Kenwood Faceplate


Cheers,

we had the same problem with our 1015 vinyl omt, we replaced the ac/dc rectifier and the 2 big capacitors and the problem was solved. (it cost about 15 euro's) good luck!

i had the same proble. i happened to remove the changer from the boot for a few days and have a look inside but did not see anything wrong and when i put it back in it worked.

i expect it is as simple as disconnecting the changer from the head unit, turn the head unit on and off and then reconnect the changer resets the connection between the two.

model cdr 2005 radio/cd player works fine except there is no display above where the radio station/cd track number is supposed to be displayed. I have time and temperature as normal

It is more then likely your faceplate has become non functional, and if so the cd player is almost none functional. If you can remove the faceplate try cleaning the connections that clip into the cd player. But by the sounds of it, your face plate is die'ing out on you. Sorry

Good luck,
IF you need any more help just ask.
Thankyou

Also have the same problem, never had to get my car jumped though. When i switch to cd it is stuck on "CD2", also most of the time the screen does not show up and i am not able to use any of the buttons except the analog turn knob and power/volume.

Try cleaning the lens first, if you can take the top off and are able to see the lens, using a cotton swab soaked in 91% alcohol wet the lens, don't rub it, then blow it off with computer duster. Or try a cd based lens cleaner (Radio Shack).

Good Luck Leadispenser

you can always try cleaning the lense and if that dosent work exchange it for a new one

probably your laser is weak,if you're not qualified to open pls, visit nearest sony service center to have the laser replaced.

Insert Lens cleaning Disk, after cleaning the disk If the CD is reading change the lens.
