Kenwood CD player stops working
Hello,
I am having a problem with my Kenwood X659 CD/MP3 player. It will cut out often when I go over bumps, and the only way to make it come back is a solid *thwack* to the faceplate. Obviously, this is not an ideal solution. When the player cuts out, there is no audio and no motion on the spectrum analyzer, but everything else seems to continue to function normally (CD keeps playing, play/pause buttons work, etc.). I have already pulled the unit out and checked for loose connections, but everything seems fine. This exact same problem has been described in another thread (search groups for "kenwood mp819 cd player stops working"), except that my head unit does not have a motorized faceplate. From the other posts, it sounds like my faceplate cable might be developing a problem. Does anyone know how this can be resolved? I'm electronically skilled, and would like to fix it myself if possible. Thanks, Jason |

If you are out of warranty its a cheap self-fix... |

If you are out of warranty its a cheap self-fix... No, it's not MASK. However, I have a feeling that there may still be a problem with the connection between the faceplate and the unit itself. Do you happen to know what kind of ribon cable the unit uses? I'd prefer to have the cable on-hand when I go to fix this thing. Otherwise, I would have to take it apart twice. - jason |

Awesome! I don't think I would have found that on my own, but it's
exactly what I need. Thanks a million! - jason "Ampdoc" wrote in message .. . www.kenwoodparts.com -- Jammy Harbin J & J Electronics, Inc. 227 S. 4th St. Selmer, TN 38375 731-645-3311 |

Well, I took the HU apart today, and it turns out it doesn't have a
ribon cable. Just a pcb the connects the faceplate to another snap-in type connecter inside the unit. The connection on the inside had come loose a bit, so I pushed it back in. I'll have to give it a few days to make sure, but everything seems to be working fine. - jason (jason) wrote in message . com... Awesome!
