Radio Powers On And Lights Up But No Sound Comes Out.
I have my Kenwood radio in my boat. A friend borrowed the boat last weekend and left it parked out in the rain overnight, now I my radio powers on and lights up but I can't get any sound. Any solutions other than buying a new radio?

You might need to visit a local repair shop. You may also need to contact their customer service for repair. They might just need to service the radio
The rain that fell on it has aided the damage on the speaker.
I hope this is helpful? PLEASE "ACCEPT" and mark it "HELPFUL" to complement my little effort. Hope to bring you more detailed answers
