ok, so the problem i'm having is that the main screen isn't showing up. this just occured one night out of no where. the screen just went dead, and then a few hours later of driving, it came back up. so i thought no big deal.

next day, it's not working. and so it's been coming on and off for the past 2 months. it doesn't seem to appear because of any reason. i checked my wiring on the back of the harness, and everything is ok. anyone know what it could be? just a pioneer default? i bought the deck off ebay, so no warantee

the deck works fine, plays cd's and mp3's. all the lights show up. it's just the OEL screen part that doesn't display.

 

could be a loose wire on the inside of the deck. if you bought the deck new, take it back to the store you purchased it at or take it to a repair place to have it fixed.

 

i guess it could be inside the deck. i don't wanna take it apart. i bought it off ebay a year ago. i don't know any repair shops. lol but i don't think it's worth anything now.

 

anyone else have ideas?

 

did you ever figure this out?i bought a p960mp yesterday on ebay that has the same prob with the rear screen not working..LMK Thx

 

Check the opening on the front of the unit where the screen of the unit meets. In other ewords the part that looks like a computer chip and check for any debris in there.

 

i highly doubt that will be it...anybody else have a fix for this?

 

I FIXED IT,and everything is working 100%

this was a VERY ez fix.

power on the cd player,hit the "OPEN" button
Cut the power,leaving the face OPEN
remove top cover(one screw)
remove cd player(4 screws,unplug 2 cables)
remove the front face plate
remove 2 screws from the side of the front face bracket(holder)
remove front face bracket and unhook its cable from mobo
remove 2 screws from the side of the REAR FACE
If Looking at the front of the cd player,turn the WHITE GEAR on the right side AWAY from you(or clockwise) untill the rear face Pops out
remove the face's cable
install new cable,slip rear face back into place and turn the white GEAR ALL THE WAY to you (or counter clock wise)
then just put everything back together.

shouldnt take someone but 2-3mins to do this job VERY VERY EZ..

if you cant find a cable for the face,here is what i did for a TEMP fix on the cable

cut out the bad part.not to much tho.
sand down the ends untill the leads are showing
tape the end together,making sure all the leads line up
then take a PC ribbon cable,remove one of the connectors(should be 3 pieces)use the 2 back pieces as a clamp where you taped the cable,then use 2 ZIP TIE's to hold the clamp down...

it took me about 30mins-1hr to get everything broke down and another 2days to get the cable fixed becuase i had ZERO help..but i hope the next peep that comes looking for a fix for their deh-p960mp will find this thread of much use,becuase i couldnt find jack for this fix on the web..
