Kenwood headunit has power but wont turn on

[Neaty]

I recently fitted a Brand New kenwood head unit (not sure on the model off the top of my head) and was all working fine until when i ws on my way down to inters!

all of a sudden the sound went off but the screen was still on and all the display etc, so i tried to turn it off and back on again to see if that helps but then it wouldnt turn back on. it still has power because it will eject a cd and the red light flashes thats behind the front screen when u take it off!

any ideas on what the problem could be?

Kenwoods (well, my last three anyway) are notorious for 'crashing'.

Have you tried resetting the unit (there's usually a rest button somewhere on the faceplate).

erm, i have the front screen in front of me now the buttons it has are:

att                                                                           eject
     
    Volume knob                                                       pause/play/skip track knob


            TI   Menu   1      2       3      4       5      6          SRC

button to release the front screen

The reset button will be a little recessed button that you need to push with a pen tip, might not be too obvious.

I had one of the blackface mask ones, it gave up after a while. I reckon it was the band bit that connects the faceplate to the inside of the HU, but then it did have to spin all the way around because thats the way the mask ones worked. It was a good unit until that happened though!
