Bricked Kenwood DNX. Cheap fix.
Really simple and cheap fix for this non working Kenwood DNX690HD. Cheap as in no money was spent. Well, maybe a little on electricity. Nothing was working anymore. No navigation, no radio, no bluetooth or phone. Completely dead.
I understand this is a frequent problem with Kenwood DNX series headunits. It might be a design flaw, a cooling problem for the chip sets inside, lack of good airflow... not sure what.
I watched a few videos explaining how to reflow the chipset and essentially fix the problem.
Use caution in this case. Do it at your own risk.
I would advise those who want to do it to start warming up the board and the chip slowly. Start at 5-6 inches above the board and gradually move the blower lower in order to prevent a thermal shock and have those components cracked. In my case it is a Toshiba chip.
