Parrot CK3100 Screen Problem

ianobrien

I've a problem with my Parrot CK3100 car kit. Basically, sometimes when I turn it on, I get a few bleeps, a blank screen and then "No Signal" appears in the top corner.

The phone still connects to the kit. I can still make and receive calls on the phone and it routes the audio through the car kit but the screen is blank. In addition, pressing the buttons on the screen does nothing.

After a while (typically 5 min max) the screen returns to normal, and full functionality is restored.

The kit is in the car 2 years, it was professionally installed (I won't touch modern wiring with a 40 foot pole because of Can-Bus) so I don't have the box with the serial no and date of manufacture.

Does anybody have any ideas of what the problem could be, and how to cure it? Most of the answers Google throw up are the Parrot solution - replace the unit - but does anybody else have a cure?

Have a look at the wire going into the bottom of the LCD display itself.

Mine did the same thing and I took the back off and the wire had come loose, reattached it and its been fine since.

If you need replacement parts then I saw this place before:

Never used them, just saw it on a few forums.

The screens have been known to go on them alright. The kit works fine but the screen just needs to be replaced.
As a poster said above, check the connecting wire to the screen
. It should have a small 3 pin jack at the bottom of the screen that separates it from the cable.
I have had to replace 2 recently for people at work, but one was 2 years old and the new screen was incompatible with the old kit so i ended up changing the kit as well.
Sorry i don't have an easier option.

Thanks to all

I'll check the connections and report back tomorrow.

Hopefully its not a new screen/unit needed.......

As for the nice Russian Man, can I send the car by post, as I can't take the unit out?

A brief update - the connection at the bottom of the screen was loose. I've shoved it home. Hopefully that's it. I'll strip the dash over the weened to find the control box and check the rest of the connections.

Hi Ian...don't waste any more time checking the rest of the kit,unless it acts up again...you've almost certainly isolated the problem...I see one or two a week here..unless the socket on the board has become damaged,it'll be fine!!

The "no signal" symptom,if it persists,may require a software flash...not a big deal either.
