Kenwood Excelon KDC-PS809 Repair
|
New member Username: Mustang4fnPost Number: 1 Registered: May-08 | Hello. I have an old school kenwood excelon MASK PS809. The unit stopped displaying and I was told the ribbon from the faceplate to the unit was more than likely the problem. I have opened the system and was able to disconnect the ribbon from the unit, but I'm unsure as to how to open the faceplate. There doesn't seem to be any screws, nor does it feel like I can just pop it open. Any suggestions? Also was the advice that the ribbon was bad the correct advice? I looked at the ribbon and there are several small spots where the black has rubbed of and the wire line is showing, so I am surmising this is correct... Thanks in advance! |

Thanks to a posted link from Brent Norum. of on another Kenwood model 715, where you as well can remove the front flip-panel. But I got my generally info Still have the problem, that Robert also has, even with several guitar picks (good tip, I play guitar but never thought about that) Still can't get access At the black mask in the upper corners, where the panels normal is mounted at the flip mechanism, it will not pop open upper corners, don't pop open  So without knowing if how to open the corners exactly I'm not going to risk prying something apart that will likely break. Some article said something about kenwood using double sided tape which you have to pull apart? So, I guess either I find an exact procedure for the KRC-758 and KRC - 858 Or have to see a photo of the inside of a panel? So I precisely now how to open it. Is there a hero how have instruction or photo's Thanks in advance Ben Holland PS for somebody how is seeking how to get access to the ribbon see link of Brent http://www.csupomona.edu/~bvnorum/faceplate_ribbon_cable_replace_kdc-715s.pdf |
