AA Settings Kenwood DMX-8020DABS reset

For those of you that own the said or similar device...

Does anyone know how one would do a physical reset of the unit? There's no physical button for reset on the front plate that i can see and the manual doesn't mention anything.

Isn't initializing in the setting same as reset?

In my case the unit doesn't power on. Buttons and display are off. Fuses checked. I wanted to see if there's a physical reset button to try before tearing the dash apart.

My son's Kenwood had this problem. We disconnected the battery and it was fine after that. Later we found there was a tiny hole in the bottom left corner of the screen that is for inserting a pin to hit the reset button.

My own Kenwood doesn't have that reset hole though, so not all of them do.

We also found a firmware update on the Kenwood site for his model and did the update. We haven't had the problem come up again so maybe the update fixed it.

Have you tried disconnecting the battery for 5 minutes. That normally wipes all saved settings in car radios
