I have a Pioneer DEH-P835R in my car and the face went completely blank
(no lights or words) . But the buttons still function and control the deck
just fine . Can I just buy a new faceplate to get it to work again ? Thanks
a million

 

Try cleaning the contacts on the back of the face plate, and on the deck.

 

Tried cleaning the contacts and still no luck . Do you think If I purchased
a new faceplate it would work again ? Anybody ?

 

take it to a local repair shop...it's a common problem that the ribbon cable inside CD players gets damaged. A few years ago my $420 Kenwood CD player, which was no longer under warranty, did the same thing.....only cost me $70 to fix, so it was well worth it.

 

You might look around the Pioneer site, and see if there is any info in their FAQ or Knowledge Base sections.
