Kenwood kvt-729 had new clutch fitted,garage removed battery. now head unit has lost all its settings. gone through the menu to recall last settings but cant get it to keep the settings. help please?

Hello,

Thanks for posting your question, I am here to help!

If you hear sound but no video chances are the screen is indeed the issue now here is what you can do.

• Check for a replacement screen and put it in yourself.
• Take the unit to a factory authorized repair center.
• if there are A/V outputs you can hook up a external screen (most models have this)

The screen is bad because of the following issues:

The back light witch is the white background you see is firing (not a back light issue)
There is a bar running across the screen meaning the LCD is damaged or defective.

Now in rare cases you can go in and check and see if the Ribbon cable is dislodged from the main board, do not shoot the messenger but it happens. Other then that I feel you need a new lcd screen for this unit based on what you told me.


I apologize in advance if I was not clear on my answer to you.

Thanks for using fixya.com

my friend has a head unit and is looking for the brain... if your interested in selling it my email is [email protected]

My KVT-617 display unit was stolen out of my dash, but they neglected to snag the items under the rear seat: the "brain" hideaway unit, the HD radio receiver, the 10 disc CD changer, the navigation unit, and the powered subwoofer.
Everything was replaced via the insurance except the sub because the new system was not compatible with the old components. Make me an offer on the items you want!
