Installed a kenwood kdc-258u today and the faceplate won't turn on. When I press the eject button it makes the noise as if trying to eject a cd but other than that nothing works. Any advice would be helpful

You probably have a break in the flexible ribbon cable that goes between the flip face and the mother board. Try partstore.com for a replacement cable.

It has a defective ribbon cable between the face and the motherboard. This is a common repair, but must be done by a repair shop. My shop charges around $60-70 for parts and labor for that repair, to give you a ballpark of what to expect.

SOURCE: No power to Kenwood KDC-4019 faceplate

It sounds like the stereo does not have the "ACC" voltage. It could have blown a fuse. The "ACC" voltage goes to the red wire on the harness and you get that voltage turned on only when the ignition is turned on in the car.

The symptom of the disc ejecting and nothing else works is an indication that only the constant voltage for the yellow wire is connected. Check the voltage on the red wire with the car turned on, if you have that 12 volts at the red wire, then you need the radio serviced.

It is not very likely that the faceplate has gone bad. Just because the radio will not turn on is not an indication that the faceplate is bad. It could be a voltage regulator in the radio or a circuit trace is blown, or almost anything else. There are many reasons that the radio would have the problems you describe and it can only be found out for certain by troubleshooting the radio on a test bench with the proper tools. If you have a multimeter and a power supply I can guide you thru troubleshooting the radio and even email you the service manual in PDF format if you would like to take a crack at it yourself.

Let me know how you want to proceed.

Kenwood KDC-BT765HD - reset unit cd ?
The arrow followed by the 3 indicates see page 3 of the manual. You want the section on the Faceplate in the Basics portion of the manual. To reset the KDC-BT765HD, remove the faceplate. Press the Detach button at the bottom left of the faceplate. It's below the button with the magnifying glass/back symbols. Then pull the faceplate towards you. Next press the reset switch twice within 5 seconds. The reset switch is recessed; you'll need the point of a pen or an unfolded paper clip to press it. The switch is near the bottom of the unit somewhat to the left of the center. The manual is available from Kenwood on the product support page: http://www.kenwood.com/usa/car/receiver/kdc-bt765hd/support.html?model=KDC-BT765HD . The current link to the manual is http://manual.kenwood.com/files/B5A-0889-00.pdf .

I hope this helps.

Just installed but will not turn on.
Hard to say, if you are in total darkness, can you see any faint numerals. If so your backlight probably burnt out. If not it could be the contacts at the faceplate to the head unit.

There is no display on the faceplate. The faceplate is stuck in the CD eject position. If I remove the faceplate the mechanism rotates to the position where the controls would be visible but when I attach...
I would try cleaning the connectors on the face plate with an pencil eraser and on the unit itself with a very fine sand paper. And make sure you get rid of any dust after cleaning before putting the face plate back on.
Please leave me a good feedback.
Thanks
