I have a flip down Kenwood CD player, similar to this one http://www.audioallies.com/images/Kenwood/KDCMP922.jpg&size=4&dhm=7fa8833b&hl=en. I've had this for about 2 years 2 months and it just messed up (actually 2nd one since 1st one got jacked!). I had the Best Buy 2 year warranty but low and behold it breaks right after it ends. Best Buy can't look at it cause they don't fix stuff. But basically the unit stops flipping down. I thought it was the fuses, but I checked the fuse in the back of the unit, as well as fuses on my car and all fine. The weird thing is that if I pull out the fuses and then put them back in, then restart my car, the unit flips down for a couple seconds (but doesn't turn on) and then flips back up. This tells me that the motor still works and it's probably just a wiring problem??? Any easy fixes? There's a kenwood service center next to me but they look shady and was like "I know what's wrong" and I asked him how much and he said you need to bring it in for me. I don't want to get ripped off if this is an easier fix or how much should it cost? Thanks! |
