just jumped in the car to bring her home and the headunit isn't working...

Anyone know if the cold spell could have bolloxed it? Its a Kenwood Mask, the face turns over but the display doesn't light up at all...

It was working fine about a week ago, now nothing

I really don't need this to be dead as well

 

My MASK did this the other year and once I had reset it and transmitted the decode back it was fine again

 

mine did it earlier, just took the front off, put it back on and it was ok... shit me pants though...

 

The reset button on the front of the display? Lights got the better of me now so I can't see shit out there...

tried taking it off and putting it back on but nothing so far

 

My DVD player in the car won't turn on either Wondering if the cold has fucked it

 

Which mask do you have? Mine is the 1070 I think in PIano Black and the reset is on the bottom right hand corner of the face

 

Could be condensation in the unit caused by the cold I've had it happen to me years ago in an old mk1 astra but just put it down to the fact it was an old banger that had bodywork like a sieve

 

My Kenwood head unit did this to me today as well - I took the face off and put it back on again and it was fine. I just put it down to cold/condensation.

Try running the heater blowers on full whack and take it for a drive around - would save having to arse about taking it out and resetting it again.

Cheers,

Andy

think this might be worth a try...

 

Is the ribbon on yours damaged wes?

 

dunno mate, doesn't look damaged but then sometimes you can never tell...

I'll give the ribbon a try, I can always flog it on ebay again if I get no joy that way

strange thing is the reset and open/close button both work

 

just spent the last hour putting the new ribbon in and we have life
