also this problen we will still see unless it gets rated a fixya to someone thanking you for using fixya from chris07551
Chak the all the wireing might be loosee connaction
The ribbon cable from the display to the main board is a common problem as well as some surface mounted fuses on the main board. There are around 5 or 6 of them that may need to be checked. As you must know by now, they are very difficult to open up and work on. I have seen many times when a owner of these will try to fix it there self and cause other problems accidentally. If you are going to try and check those surface mounted fuses I can try to help you with that. I have the service manual in PDF format and if you contact me I can send it to you by email. It would be a great help since it has the schematics and board diagrams in it. I can also just give you whatever part numbers you may need to order the correct parts. This is a very difficult unit to work on, I have repaired many of them over the last few years. If the problem is not those fuses or ribbon cable, you will be better served to have an experienced technician look at it. It is very easy to damage the ribbon cable when you replace it, so that is possible it is causing your problem now.
Let me know if you would like further help from me.

Those fuses I listed in the last post are the ones near the 2 connectors for the ribbon cable on the main board. The ref #'s should be printed on the board near the connectors, as well as the ref #'s for the fuses. As I said before, these fuses are very small and are surface mounted. There are many more fuses on the board, and if you see more that look like the ones I pointed out, check them.
The surface mounted fuses I have told you to check will not look burnt even if they are bad. They look just fine even when they have blown. They will not look loose on the board, they are soldered on to the board. You need to check them with an ohm meter. If you do not have an ohm meter, you can not check them. These fuses are the most likely problem for your unit. I have experience fixing these units, so you can ignore me if you like, but I know what I know what I am telling you is correct. It would also be nice you could please address your post to the expert you are wanting to communicate with. I have no idea if you are wanting to communicate with me or with somebody else. As I told you before, I can give you the service manual in PDF format which would help you greatly with troubleshooting this unit. If you are not willing to check these fuses your best bet is to just take to a service center that can repair it. You can expect the cost to be around $200. Like I said before, I have actually fixed these units at my shop which is an authorized Pioneer service center, so you might want to consider that what I am telling you is right.
Opens and closes is a ribbon problem symptom,i encounter like this problem before.I only cut the old ribbon,and i doubled it to the new ribbon, 2 one half inch,and put at each end of the contacts,so it will thick,and when you inserted it, it will hold firmly to the contact.Sometimes the replacement is very thin,and that DVD works again...
Hopes it may help you;

Hi,
'
Your description is significant:
- OPENS AND CLOSES - electrical/mechanical works, their is power going into the unit;
- NO SOUND - if the unit is not switching on this is to be expected;
- BUTTONS DON'T RESPOND - again, if the unit is not switching on, this is to be expected;
- THE SCREEN DOESNT SHOW ANYTHING - same as above. Additionally, it could be that the CCF lamps/inverter are defective are simply not engaging since the unit will not swtich on.
If I may add to the other posts, why not try a reset. To my knowledge this particular model has a reset button. If this likewise fails, then in most likelihood, the controller circuitry has been messed up. To effect repairs of this nature, a service manual or at the very least a schematic diagram with voltage readings would be essential. Foremost to check would be the standby B+ most likely a +5VDC.Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.
Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.
Again reopen and check carefully and slowly if the belt is placed properly the smother side should be out and the rough side of the belt should be inner side.check whether any thing is moved from its position.any thing is left out by mistake.
reply what happened where you have reached so all of us can help you further from there.
feel free for further queries
thanks.
its front panel wires are moved from the circuit connection so any thing is not coming on the display.get it checked at at the service center to come to the conclusion what has went wrong so that it could be solved.
keep us updated.
thanks.
Hey There I have the model that Came out after that one.
I have had some problems but I never took it apart to replace the
Ribbon.
- Check to make sure that the ribbion (if colored) is the same as the old one
- do you have the wiring diagram/
- Is there a Firmware CD that Pioneer has?
- My Pioneer has firmware (Version 1.233) But that was done by the Factory
- You make need to check the Fuses in the rear of the Stereo
OK does your screen get stuck when you open it ..... Example when you first turn on the "ACC"and the stereo powers up. DO you have it set on Auto or Manual.
That model may have a small Lever/Switch that is on the inside . The way it works is when the
screen is sliding out of the sleeve it Trips the Lever or it keeps contact to send a signal to the Screen
to activate it. There may be a chance that you have disabled it or maybe when you put it back together
you over looked it.
Note: Check all FUSES in the Car and stereo...... If all else take of the Battery Terminals and Reset
the Memory.... 5mins should do it.
Thank You

I can understand you frustrations . If you
Can please direct your questions
to whom the expert that
you need further assistance from.
If that would help you.
@username
This way the experts can see who is helping you . There are
so many other post/comments I lost
track on who you are
referring you comments too. I just want to make sure that
you do not give up if you are not satisfied with the solutions.
Please understand that it is extremely difficult to point you in the
right direction without one of us looking at the stereo.
I am not sure if there is a way that you can “Post your Pictures” on
here, of the inside
of the player. This way we will be able to point out were you need to
test and perhaps give you a little more detail on what you need to do
next.
If you have exhausted all possibilities, I would reconsider to call the company
that you ordered the Ribbon from and tell them it is Defected!!!
I am not discouraging you, but it is better to wait then to damage something
else.
Thank you
Jayson
Yes, that would be a great idea....Send it back and
make sure that they are paying for the return
shipping.
I really tried and I think
that we gave you the best possible
answers.
Thank you for rating this solution

I am curious to know why the ribbon broke in the first place ?
Robert
was it powered on when it broke ?
and there is a possiblity that while changing the ribbon something did not get hooked back up or a connector has come off
H!!!!
try to figure it out the jack connector of the audio!!
hi!!!!
ok try to removed the ribbon first and put
it back properly may the ribbon not connected
properly!!!!
hi!!!
try to replaced it if is under warranty
or
buy new one!!
Take a closer look at the ribbon connector. it sounds like a problem with connection that is why it is not responding. it could probably have thin film of protective cover on the contacts that you need to remove before installing it.
tnx 4 using fixya,
drcool
it could have been damaged when the ribbon was damaged. thin wires from the ribbon could have been shorted out and damaged the unit. so replacing the ribbon would have not solved the problem. specially if a metal thing cuts the wires of the ribbon. it would short the wires as it cuts it.
tnx again,
drcool
keep us posted please,
tnx, drcool
