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
