Loss of controls and screen.... Need some help...

[boosted_blazer]

Got an N1 Here, been working fine until yesterday, I start my truck, the screen flips out, but no screen? So i close it, open it back up, nothing??? So I leave it open hoping it will come back on, in the mean time I am browsing my ipod (i know I cant see it, but Know where everything is now) have the ipod adapter. So you use the right hand joystick control, and I can navigate through the folders (up and down) but when I try to change tracks (left and right) nothing happens, completly dead. So I close the screen, and the button works... Screen still never came back.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Flex cable. off to pioneer it needs to go.

[boosted_blazer]

Your sure about that?

 

I heard that pioneer will replace a flex cable on any N1 free of charge, 1 time. is that true? I bought this from a buddy of mine, I doubt its ever been to pioneer, but is there a way I can check, so I dont get a $500 bill.

 

Thanks

Appreciate the fast response.

Call them up. They'll be able to tell you.

Do a search on this forum for Ribbon cable. You will find a post with a latter from Pioneer USA about the free replacement. Bring the letter together with the unit to the dealer.

 

Unfortunately I am here in Europe and Pioneer Europe has a problem with refunds let alone with replying to emails.

Yup flex cable is a defect and was recalled. Therefore, they should fix it for free.
