Kenwood screen - not working?

Hey all, I have a double din Kenwood indash touchscreen dvd/cd player. On my way home yesterday it froze.. so i turned it off. When I turned it back on, all the lights light up (source, function, etc) but the screen is black. I tried to turn the volume up, nothing, touch around on the black screen and nothing happens. Any idea what could cause this?

When I turn the deck on / off the screen lights up a bit (almost like a backlight) but theres no buttons to press or anything.

help?

Thanks!!
Andrew

There will be a small reset button on the face of the H/U (usually in the bottom left corner) I have to reset mine every so often( I get a "protect" error and I run pre out only!! Kenwood doesn't know what to tell me, but I guess thats what I get for having the First DNX 8120 in Canada)
You should for next time be able to use the setup memory in the deck to save your settings just in case you need to reset it again.

I've got a 5120 and sometimes it will do strange things... I have seen my screen turn black but the colour always came back. I noticed after resetting my unit that it takes a long time to set everything back up, not so much the audio but the brightness/colour/tint on various sources
