Question about Kenwood KDC-X811

1 Answer

Unit just died (mostly)

I've owned this unit since it first came out, and it's worked fine, until now. It worked fine on the way to work the other morning, but on the way back it did not. The D-mask flips around as it should, but there is no display. The radio plays faintly but you can't change the volume, station, source, etc... I'm thinking it's finally bit the dust, but has anyone else had a problem like this that was able to rectify it? Thanks in advance!

    I've torn it completely apart. I read another page where his ribbon cable was bad and he was able to fix it using a conductive pen and some tape. I've also talked to a local stereo shop dude who stated that the cable probably needed replaced. I have it in my hand now and I can't find a damn thing wrong with it. All the traces look good all the way down, but when I look at it through a light and can see areas where light is coming through. Can't tell if it's on a trace or not.
    Probably gonna bite the bullet and send it to a repair shop.....

    I still have it sitting here in pieces. I found a replacement ribbon cable for roughly $8 but I haven't taken the time to order it yet. Just bought a replacement stereo for now. Got another kenwood so I wouldn't have to rip out the wiring harness.

    I have the same exact problem. The mask will flip around and the buttons light up but none of them respond. Can't even get the CD in there go eject. Replaced it with a Pioneer unit but would like to get it fixed for a different car.

Have you tried a different battery? Occasionally a battery can read good but die under load. Also use care when replacing the battery. Many devices today specify in small print to leave the battery out for a minimum time period (anywhere from about 15 sec to 5 min, depending on the model). Also, it is sometimes quite easy to reverse the polarity on some of these devices. If all else fails, contact the manufacturer. It's possible the unit itself is bad.

Sounds like you covered everything electrically. Did you check the belt to see if it is tight enough. It's been a while since I've worked on a 95, if it has an auto belt tensioner. it could be weak, not turning the alternator fast enough under a load. This can happen and the belt not squeak.

It could be a faulty machine, what is your grind setting? Make sure your using the dual wall single cup as a test. Set the grind to around 13 and grind your own beans, don't use supermarket bought beans or preground coffee. Both are garbage.
Also if your using the dual wall basket, make sure that you leave the dial guage in the dual wall setting. Then tamp the coffee so it sits roughly 3-5mm below the rim, this is what I have found is best for this unit.
Then secure group head in to unit, press single cup and you should hopefully get a pressure reading, if it isn't going up you are under extracting and your grind is prob to coarse (correct me if I'm wrong), I've found 13 is not to coarse not to fine. Shouldn't feel like fine sand, when coarse but not powdery.
If the gauge does not move in to the grey area your unit is most likely faulty.

This may sound stupid but try this, for some reason this seem to work on 6 and 9000 units with charging problems.
With the unit running, disconnect the battery and allow the unit to run for 60 seconds, then plug the battery back in, again with the unit running.

Kenwwod KDC-X811lost graphics and volume control etc Hello, My X811 has worked perfectly for years in my weekend driver. Suddenly the face rotates, but there is no display. Sometimes there is volume and sometimes there is not. When there is volume, its fixed. You cannot increase or decrease the volume. You cannot select modes or anything and none of the function keypads work. The amp pilot light comes on and all its fuses are good. I saw a previous post about a 'ribbon cable', but it did not indicate if the unit was repaired by its replacement. Do you think a later model Kenwood will plug right in eliminating a re-wire? Thanks in advance. Lynn
