hi jhon when you take your faceplate off theres a little circle to reset the deck use a ink pen tip & push it in... if that doesnt work i would unplug the wire harness and plug that back in... or your sorce button turns the deck on & off by holding it in for a few seconds try that... if this all fails kenwood has a one year warranty send it back the will fix or replace it buddy ..good luck &#9786;

I have the same issue, pressing and holding power for a bit usually fixes, it locks up frequently though.... Going to call Kenwood for warranty because CD player has stopped accepting CD's

I have had this problem. It has locked up and been unresponsive (although it continued to play music) and it wouldn't turn off when I turned my car off. I also have an issue that I will start my car and no sound will come out of the unit. It will show song information, show the time counting for the song, but no sound. The graphic equalizer is also flat indicating that it isn't processing any sound. I have since replaced the deck and have already started to have issues with no sound. My dealer is trying to work with their Kenwood rep., but so far there has been no news of what the issue is. I have had this problem.

Mine did the same thing. I sent it back to be exchanged. I thought that the radio was defective.

I found the batteries disconnected from one another - probable spring failure - and bridged the gap with aluminum foil wad bridging the gap between the double "A"s. Another matter that is not a completely dead radio is if the look button (key) is depressed; the clock is still active but the radio will come on only after the lock "key" is pushed.

Didn't have a problem with mine. Plugged it in to the radio and it comes on when it powers up.

Funny to just get this... I have been having trouble with my radio for a year now. It keeps tripping the fuse under my hood. I went to Best Buy to see if they could check to see if it was grounded improperly and the technician said that this particular radio is very sensitive and has had so many issues that best buy no longer carries it. He said it would have been better to buy a cheap pioneer radio than this one.... sorry for bad news but something to look into. I can't return mine but if you are in the warranty window the installer said to get a refund or exchange quickly... your problems with start mounting... Funny to just get this...

I have had no problems with my Midland radios. I would contact Midland Tech right away and let them walk you through troubleshooting. If not battery contacts, it could be a manufacturing or component defect.

Have you tried the reset button i know that sometimes you have to reset the radio to get it to work again it has happened to me before give it a shot...

Good idea. I had been holding head while sliding lock button. Tried your suggestion. Still doesn't work. Fully convinced now it doesn't work right. Thanks much.

If ALL your connections have been rechecked and are correct, return the radio. It is likely defective.

With the radio off press and hold the 12/24 button. It may not change, but push it again. My radio required two push and holds.

I have had my radio for over a year now. I had problems the first time I tried to play music from a USB flash drive. I tried another drive and it worked fine. I have no idea why the first one didn't work but formatted the second one and it worker perfectly.

I have read that same posting. I have never heard of DTMF codes "bricking" a radio. I have 3 TYT TH-9000 radios and they all work great and I've never had an issue with DTMF codes effecting them in any way. I'm not sure what happened to that other gentleman's radio, but that doesn't sound likely to me.

My DE1126 worked perfectly after the initial charge. If you can't get the battery to charge-up, then either the battery may be defective or the wall-wart charger or the DE1126 radio itself. In any event, you may have to return the item to the seller and request a replacement, but call or send and email first in case you need an RMA number. Good Luck!

The 99% stuck issue does happen from time to time. Just trun off the Radio (press and hold POWER), then turn it back on and re-download the FW update. It should work the second time.To verify you have the current FW version go to Settings > Advanced > Software UpdateIt will tell you if you have the latest FW version or not.

I never had that problem I was locked out of my truck one time due to a programming issue a installer installed a new computer module and haven't had a problem since. You may get it reset I know alarm installers can do a reset if it's giving you problems

Remove the face and press the small "reset" button you find behind the face on the radio and the radio will wake up. It happens only occasionally that the radio "goes to sleep" like that.

I had the same issue with mine. Had a friend use Chirp to get it to program, but after a while it would no longer connect to that and the radio completely bricked itself. I returned mine.
